Thanksgiving in China (take 2)

Ok, so just as we were feeling bad for foregoing the Turkey and Pumpkin Pie, we decided to try a small Canadian establishment near home. It was Turkey day all over, but this time, the real deal. I'm not going to lie and say it was anything near as good as home (thanks Ralph) but for being in China, Steak and Eggs cooked a decent Turkey and mighty tasty Pumpkin Pie. They even had the Cranberry sides!

We noticed even more Christmas decorations going up today. The mall closest to us set up a massive tree and lights were hung from every tree (and lamppost). Beijing is starting to feel a bit more friendly and certainly more festive.

Thanksgiving in China

Yes, it's Thanksgiving in China. The Christmas lights are going up and the mall decorations are underway for a festive shopping seasons. Mind you, most people don't really know what Christmas is all about. Tonight Noel and I enjoyed the closest thing we could find to an American Turkey for the holiday. Unfortunately, our KFC meal was less than satisfying.

For us it was just another day at work, but it's hard to forget a holiday that you've celebrated for so many years. I have a feeling that Christmas and New Years Eve will be different this year.
