US Expats, thanksgiving plans?

[foidulus]

So I find myself for the 7th time overseas for Thanksgiving(my choice really) and although I like living abroad, I do miss the old country sometimes

Anyway, I was just curious to see what other American expats are doing for Thanksgiving? I'm going the "traditional" route and having Lunch on Saturday at Hard Rock Cafe

Nothing, Thursday is a regular old workday and so is Friday here in Japan. Today is a holiday though, so I'm off work.

I actually have to work on Thanksgiving, so that is a bummer. But I'm going to meet up with my family after work and watch some Jets football.

(And I consider myself living in a foreign country because I'm originally from NY and people in Texas seem so high on the idea that they should be their own country)

Bummer you have to work on Thanksgiving. But you're gonna torture yourself more by watching the stinkin' Jets?

When I lived in Shanghai, many reputable restaurants and catering companies would cater you a full Thanksgiving meal, scaled to the size of your family, every year. It's a bit difficult for the average person to find a 20-pound turkey in China, complete with all the trimmings. So the professionals took care of it. Unfortunately it cost a rather hefty sum of money, but for a taste of home, it was usually worth it.

Unfortunately they didn't have it during Canadian Thanksgiving, so my family usually just went out.

Happy Thanksgiving though. And cherish living abroad! Few have the opportunity.

I've been torturing myself my whole life watching the stinking JETS!

But I'm enjoying this season.
