EPAM Christmas tree

Today our EPAM TRAX project team had a wonderful team building event. We've visited Christmas tree farm to select the main decoration for our office. It is situated on the way to Santa Cruz, about 30 miles away from Mountain View. The weather was cloudy, but we all were in a good mood :)

I found the farm a little bit funny. Just imagine a small forest rounded with a wall with only small trees inside. That's it :) I enjoyed fresh air and ability to divert from everyday concerns. Made about 20 wonderful pics. We've outdid ourselves and bought 2 trees - one for Gleb and one for the office.

I still can't feel that Christmas is coming! Where's all snow?!

Easy American Idioms

Today I started to work on the popular course "Easy American Idioms". It's main purpose is to teach how to understand and use idiomatic expressions in everyday life. I've made a decision to make me use some expressions daily. It's a surefire way to achieve my primary goal for this year - make my english closer to american as much as it is possible. I'll never leave down the idea to use every day of my life to learn or to experience something new and exciting!
