Yesterday was Thanksgiving back home but there was no sign of a turkey or a pilgrim to be found where I am. (However there are smatterings of Christmas decorations about, as merchants here are cashing in on the selling opportunity in this country where western practices are often emulated.) My sister Eve sent me an email detailing the extravagant menu I was missing and I told my friend here that I had gotten a very cruel message from my sister. I called Eve on Skype Thanksgiving morning and told her what I had said. She told me she just wanted me to miss the family and I replied that I missed them without being reminded of what I was missing.
Well, I hope all of you enjoyed turkey day. Since my time in Sai Gon is 12 houirs ahead of EST, you are probably finishing off your turkey sandwiches now and the tryptophane should kick in shortly so I wish you all a good night of sleep. Don't go crazy with Black Friday shopping.
