Bottz are the traditional New Year food - every meal! They are usually regular pastry white, but our new Home Ec teacher managed to dye them for our greeting. What looked like a plate of Easter Eggs turned out to be delicious bottz.
I am standing with our Director, Enkhtsetsg (to my right) and Tsotsog, a teacher in our department.
After greeting in our building and departments, we went to the Main Building to greet the President and other administrative officials.
As if all the celebration around Tsagaan Sar weren't enough, my colleague Oyuntungalag had a birthday! I was invited to a wonderful dinner to celebrate this special day. Anu, her daughter, is a possible future Columbia College woman!
