Beijing Thanksgiving 2006

Thanksgiving in Beijing! Who would have thought! We ordered a turkey and a couple of pies from a American style Diner that prepared everything. We cooked some vegetables, made some Mulled Wine and invited plenty of friends, both from the states and from China. The crowd is a mix of friends from my Summer 2005 time in Beijing, fellow Beijing Fulbrighters and their spouses and friends. Iris, a fellow Fulbrighter pal from Tufts University in Boston, and I teamed up to get things together for the feast. Take a look. . .
