In
case you, or somebody you know, will be turning 25 and you have no
idea how to celebrate, I have compiled a list from my 25
th
this past weekend:

–  take a day trip to Moldova

Jenny,
me, Aimee, Carmen and Samantha in Moldova

–  have a man tickle the bottom of your flip-flops, then kick your
feet, while harshly speaking Russian at you

–  make a stop in Transnistria

–  dance party down the aisle of the train

–  sleep in random woman’s house, aka our hostel

–  search for hours to get our passport stamped, wind up with a piece
of paper

–  try to get your picture taken with a tiger mascot in the park

–  frolic in a fountain with Samantha

–  eat soft-serve ice-cream, twice

eating
McDonald’s soft-serve, definitely a favorite this month

–  sit awkwardly close to a couple making out on a park bench

–  hear Josh Groban singing in the park . . . see his impersonator on
stage . . . dance to said impersonator

–  take a picture with a wedding party


one
of the many weddings we saw throughout the day

–  work-out in an awesome exercise park

–  obtain a bag of cherries left on exercise bike

–  teach the banana dance to kids at an English school

–  drink kbac

–  walk for over 13 hours

–  whine your way into keeping Moldova stamp paper in passport

–  have your team sing happy
birthday
to you on a train
back to Ukraine

–  have Jenny rap to you on a train in Transnistria

–  fill nalgene with train water and live to tell

–  clean out a chicken coop

working
in the chicken coop

–  get covered in chicken poop

–  fit 5 of you into a photo booth for pictures

–  taste and dash at Baskin Robins

All
in all, I’d say that’s a pretty decent way to celebrate your
birthday. Let me know if you think you could celebrate a 25th
birthday any better:)

much
love
