1. Women's Day (similar to Mother's Day in the states) is celebrated on March 8th. Every woman, girl, and baby gets 200,000 manats (~$10) from the government, and the men give presents to the women. It's really cool, and we have the day off to just appreciate women for all they do for their families. My hospital staff gathered around to celebrate the holiday, and of course there was the mandatory cake. And of course the foreign guest had to be the first to cut the cake.
2. More cake cutting and fun. It's a rare occasion where I can see my staff laughing in a picture; usually they are more formal.
3. Me with a nurse.
4. Poses with two nurses and another volunteer who has to be really nice to us on this day.
5. Only my supervisor grins, and where is my chair?
