Holy Carp!

"Some carp are much more lovable than others, and that Passover, we had an unusually playful and intelligent carp in our bathtub"
-"The Carp in the Bathtub"

One of my favorite children's books is "The Carp in the Bathtub." Until coming to Minsk, "The Carp in the Bathtub" was purely a fictional tale for me. But one of the most thrilling things about living in Minsk is to experience "The Carp in the Bathtub" as reality:

There's nothing quite like opening the door to the bathroom in a friend's apartment and being greeted with the sight of 9 carp swimming around (ok, some were unfortunately bobbing upside down) in the tub. I realize that some of these carp look a little less playful and intelligent than the ones in the book...
