Having spent most of the day moping around with a hangover, by 8pm I was almost feeling normal again. We were just thinking about what we should do for dinner when the phone rang. It was Yujin, would we like to come round for dinner? Of course!

We stopped at the bottle shop for a couple of nice bottles as gifts, then waited for our host to arrive. He’d bought a huge smoked goose and a Turkey from the countryside. We had Georgian soup and cold meats before we hacked into the birds, delicious!

It was good to meet the family, Irine, Roman, Max and Alice. Misha bought his family round too. A great evening, thanks guys.

Ken’s shock hasn’t arrived yet, so we’re going to have a look around the city. I might see if I can pick up some oil and get an oil change in too. It’ll be good to drop the oil that’s been round Mongolia, if it’s like everything else it’ll be full of dust!
