mixed post: the Chess Competition, Jason's party, the Monopoly!

An english post. Not so much text - many photos instead.

The Chess Competition:
We were waiting for September 5. The day of Chess competition between 2 Mauritian clubs. Arsen plays in one of them. That day I went with him to the competition. As alway I was the only supporter :) and the only female. I wanted to take some photos from the match. Here are some of them. Arsen is not here in pics- the original photos are in RAW format, I need to transfer them to jpeg. Maybe later I'll add some.

this man is a doctor. He was very friendly person - it was a pleasure to talk to him. He is the only Mauritian I know who speaks Russian and has been to Armenia.

This is Roy, the strongest chess player of Mauritius.

and this is me. Just one shot during the match.

Jason's Party:
During the chess match I am the secretary of Arsen and I need to answer the calls instead of him. So I got a call from Jason, a guy from Australia who was working with Arsen. He was going to leave Mauritius after couple of days. The first association that comes to my mind about Jason is the work f*ck and a happy face :) he was a really nice person! Well he told they are going to have a dinner at Twin's Garden, a restaurant just behind our complex. Our chess team won the competition - that was good. Finally we were at our town, Flic en Flac, we met Hayk (one of armenian guys) and went to Twin's. Wow, we were not alone! so many guys - and again I am the only female. we had some dinner and bear - actually it was not that tasty, anyway. After some time the show begun. Mauritian national dances - Sega. The meal was not perfect - but the show was something! and the guys starring on dancing girls...mmm.... after the show they invited us to try dancing, that was funny. No more talk. see the photos.

forgot to say we had a private dance with my husband :)
and after that he found some other girl :D

and the others too :P

the sega show, the girl on the right was something! reminded me of Jessica Alba.

do you see the dancing guy? that is Justin, pixel artist - it was to funny watching his Sega dance!
Our dances. I should go and learn right Sega dance at some dance school.

The final dinner with Jason:
As I mentioned Jason had to go after couple of days, so we invited him to have a dinner with us. It has become a tradition in our small family. Everyone who is going to leave the country should have dinner, mostly homemade pizza and play Monopoly. That day I decided to make something else than only pizza. So I had to make a dough. I baked Adjarakan Khachapuri, it was really good - even I liked it. It's some kind of open envelop doughwith white cheese and eggs baked in the oven. Well we also had pizza and wine. Everyone was full..brr.. I did'n take any photos that day, next time I'll do that.

..and the Monopoly!
as I told it has become a tradition to play Monopoly before saying Goodbye. I should say that started playing this game just some 3 months ago and did it only some 5 times. At the beginning my position was awfull - I thought I'm going loose everything..but.. as always I won with lot's of money! Two male and on female, and again I won it! the same was with Mike (a Japanese guy who was working as a designer with Arsen).

I wish I could be so lucky with my design contest.. I'll tell you about my unluckiness in future posts.
well, I guess his is all. The only thing to mention that the shots from Jason's party were made bay Diganta.

Thanks for reading :)
