October 14, 2021 - grabbed some pizza with a couple colleagues last night. I bought my own pizza, only ate half and then wanted to take the rest home. I used my broken Russian and hand signals to show that I wanted a container for my leftover pizza. The байке (Kyrgyz word for addressing a guy you don’t know) says, “пакет?” (packet), which is the Russian word for the plastic bags that you get at the grocery store. I said, “да” (yes) not really knowing what to expect because I’ve never taken home leftover pizza in a bag. He put my pizza between two styrofoam plates, which didn’t seal or lock or anything, and then put this in a bag. At least it was better than just putting the slices of pizza directly into the bag
