We invited our friends to our apartment for a Thanksgiving dinner last week.

Ok, in China, they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but we did.

The attendees were half Chinese people, half (Taiwanese/Chinese) American people, roughly.

Most of people knew each other, so it was a cozy party.

The mixture of traditional American food and Chinese home cooking was enjoyable and kinda healthy.

My fiance worked hard to prepare/roast a big turkey. It was successful, yay!

On the other hand, I struggled with pumpkin pie.

The pie crust was killing me. When they saw my failed pie crust, one said

‘Oh, is it nan?’

Other said

‘Oh, is it bead?’

(-_-)

But finally I made it on the third try!

 

Actually, we joined to a second party hosted by my fiance’s friends next day. It was more like ‘social’ party.

Japanese don’t have the custom of going to a party to socialize with people they don’t know.

But I usually enjoy meeting new people, so it was fun. In the end of the party, I was actually sleepy though.

 

Through these two parties, I especially was amazed by some Chinese people, becaurse they speak English sooo fluently!

And most of them has never been in abroad, or lived only one and half years abroad.

Wow.

One said he learned English with watching a lot of American drama dvds.

Other woman said she learned it from her ex-boyfriend (American).

Ok…

So I started watching ‘Glee’. But actually my fiance has gotten into it a lot more than I have, haha.
