So last Thursday was Thanksgiving and yet when I asked the students if they knew what day it was they said...ummm..."I think the 27th". Obviously we don't celebrate it here. Nor did we have the day off.
So what did Doug and I do...well we got home from school...did some errands and then decided what we were going to eat for dinner.
We got to eat whatever we wanted. So we called Hemmy's (the local pizza joint) ordered 2 pizzas, french fries, and two salads. Did we eat all the food? No I don't think so. We drank a rather wonderful bottle of wine and spoke to our families. Stayed up until about 11 or so and then fell fast asleep.
We had a great time.
Friday was when we really celebrated Thanksgiving. Our director had the whole staff come over for dinner...I mean a feast...a huge feat we had two large turkeys, fajitas, Chinese noodles, rolls, mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams, and of course dessert. Just so you know I did make apple crisp...and it WON.
We had a blast. Hung out with all our friends and then went home...it was great.
Then on Saturday Doug and I hitched a ride into Ningbo to do some Christmas shopping...finally finding our stores at the last three or four hours.
And then for dinner was Mexican...now it wasn't the best Mexican food we had ever had but man it sure tasted like it, and Doug got to have a draft beer which is not a common thing. It tasted amazing. We got home around 8 and only have to pick up a few more things. And then we are done.
Most important thing I guess is we HAVE TWO MORE WEEKS TILL MALAYSIA!!!
