Thanksgiving

Want to know how they celebrate Thanksgiving in China?

OK, I'll tell you.

It's just like any other day. Thanksgiving is a strictly American holiday so the vast majority of the sutdents weren't even aware of the holiday. It's kind of like Americans and Boxing Day. You are aware it exists, and it's even on some calendars but you have no ideas on the specifics besides the fact that its celebrated in some other country. As far as the American staff here, there was really nothing special to commemorate the day. On Sunday, however, there is talk of a pot luck. Certain things are pretty hard to get such as turkey, cranberry sauce, real gravy, and stuffing but we'll see how it turns out.
