Children fought and won
The kids took prizes at the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition in the Dubai branch of the Gymnasium
Dasha is our youngest daughter and practically a Dubai native. She spent only the first six months of her life near Moscow, mostly travelling in a stroller, while everything she consciously remembers belongs to Dubai. She grows up between Russian and English, the desert sun, and daily conversations with her Filipina nanny, Cindy. A small bilingual girl who confidently explains how the world works — and rarely doubts that she should have the final word
