THANKSGIVING IN SHANGHAI

This is the first year that I was not in the good old US of A for Thanksgiving.  It was very difficult to be away from my family during this special time. With many phone, skype and emails, I was able to get my family dose.  Another distraction was the great friends I have in Shanghai.  My friend, Christina, that works at the US Consulate invited me to her house to have Thanksgiving dinner.  It was a very intimate celebration with six people that work for the US Consulate in Shanghai and Beijing.  They made the turkey all the fixin' and I brought the wine.  We had a great time playing card games and relaxing.  Thank you to Christina for including me in your celebration.
