Thanksgiving in my apartment, without me!
While I was in the US, my apartment in Shanghai hosted Thanksgiving. Yup you read that correctly. I allowed a co-worker to use my place to entertain and friends, cook them a massive Thanksgiving dinner (a first for many of them) and all in all have a good time.
Not sure if this was taken early in the night, before dinner or after. However what I do know is that a few of them were hurting the next day. But as important, they left me a bunch of liquor, soda and other stuff for down the road. Now that is nice, given they could have robbed me blind!

3 years!
Now that we are into December, I've hit another milestone. It's officially 3 years since I started with this company here in Shanghai. At times it feels like it has only been months and other times it feels like decades. All in all I can't complain!
My trip home starting at Thanksgiving was good and hectic. A great and relaxing visit to Florida with my dad, stepmom and brothers was followed by a jam packed schedule in Chicago. Chicago featured doctors, dentists, haircut, shopping for clothes, shoes and toiletries all of which I really can't find here plus more family and friends time. One night all my Chicago area cousins got together for some dinner and drinks. It was awesome to get us all together at one time.
Another memorable night was out with some local friends that I've known for years. We were waiting for our table at a restaurant in Little Italy that was packed when a pizza delivery guy from Papa John's came in to try and deliver a couple of pizza's! Needless to say the hostess made sure he left without delivering any!
Then on to North Carolina where things were a bit more stable in terms of time. Nothing but work, drinks and dinners at the show. Same old, same old.
Now back to Shanghai where the weather has quickly turned downright cold! Yes it does get cold here. With high levels of humidity the air just bites through you down to the bones!.
Here's to year #4.
