Thanksgiving

As I have never experienced thanksgiving before I thought, 'what the hell -I'll go to three in one week to see what this holiday from the US of A is all about.

Tuesday night was Anita's thanksgiving in Shimonoseki. Despite arriving late, there was plenty of food to go around. Managed to catch up with people I haven't seen in a while and had a chilled night. Thanks for being a great host Anita.Thursday saw a new twist on the Thanksgiving tradition: KFC, wine, beer and dominoes with Paul. Not traditional but fun nonetheless.Saturday I ventured into the inaka for thanksgiving at Chris' in Mitou-cho. I have a feeling that this was the closest I was going to get to experiencing the real deal. Chris' neighbours and students came and there was a real family atmosphere. We ate too much and had a mid afternoon slump but carried on til the early hours. It was really relaxed. Thanks Chris.
