I want to describe my best friend. She's from Kalmykia, a proud little nation in Southern Russia. We met at Moscow University of Culture and Art. She has an unusual look for ordinary Slavic people. Her face is an Asian type - round like a moon, with slanted greem-brown eyes, a small cute nose, full lips and a sharp chin. Her skin is so white (she's afraid of the sun all the time and uses sunscreen). Most Kalmyks are tanned and white skin is something like a sign of blue blood. Her hair is thick and dark. She is small but has big breasts which she told me are from Russian roots. She is very stylish and has good taste and can see good colour combinations, shapes and prints and how they fit her. A few years ago she went to China and South Korea and she felt like a banana: white inside and yellow outside. She grew up in a European culture with an Asian appearance. I love her for her brilliant mind,her sense of humour, her courage and curiosity. And sometimes it is funny when in public places (WHO? people?) call her Zaya it's her name and sounds like the Russian word Зая - bunny.
