I would like to talk about a day when my close friend surprised me. It was one year ago, near New Year's time. I had proposed to her three months before New Year that maybe she could come to Azerbaijan and we could celebrate together; we could go to the mountains for snow. However, she told me that she would be unavailable because of the cost and her exams. Anyway, somehow she managed it and came one week before New Year, and it was totally a surprise for me because I didn't expect her to come. I was at my location as well, so it was a great time for us to celebrate and make plans for the New Year. What we did was book a hotel for three days in the mountain region of Azerbaijan. We spent the whole day together. We went snowboarding, and we visited really nice hotels, a spa, and an indoor pool. It was a beautiful location last year. Overall, at the end of the day, I felt really relaxed and peaceful. My best friend and I have been friends for almost 12 years, and we spent all the nights together talking about everything. It was really nice, great, and relaxing for me.
