Thanksgiving in China

Happy Thanksgiving! I spent my Thanksgiving working. But I am thankful for my health, family, friends and freedom. I taught English at my part-time job Thursday night. I can't even remember what I ate that day, probably some fried rice. Yesterday was more interesting. I went to a printing shop and got business cards printed with Getpowers.com, a slogan, and my name on them. It only cost me 20 RMB or about $2.50 dollars for a box of them. Then I went over to English Corner, for the Friday night get-together of Chinese and foreigners to practice English. I waited until I had a group of people around me who showed interest in what I was talking about and when people asked me what I do, I told them I could give them my card. Then the whole group wanted my card, their hands out like asking for candy. I went through half my box just last night.

I can see a few snowflakes starting to come down outside. The first snowfall of the winter begins and now I have to go to work. Better put on the long-johns.
