GanAnJie

So several weeks ago, a wrote to a friend asking if she thought it was possible to make turkey without an over (there are no ovens in the dorm). The response: "What drugs are you doing over there, Michelle?"

(Thanks, Heather)

No need to worry, IES had a Thanksgiving dinner for us, complete with turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie (not as good as the pumpkin cheesecake you bring, David), stuffing and more - and price tag of 135 RMB (that's A TON OF MONEY, by the way). As tasty as home? No. But it was nice to have a celebration here, although I'd obviously rather be home.

So, Happy Thanksgiving from my side of the world to yours.

Delighted that you celebrated Thanksgiving, Mich and are improving your language skills sufficiently to avoid being "struck." B and I follow your adventures avidly and especially appreciated your Shanghai photos. Love, Rochelle
