Thanksgiving in Hong Kong will definitely be some thing I will always remember. On Thursday (Thanksgiving Day), a few of us went to the local mall and had some pizza (we tried to eat some Western food in order to feel more at home!) On Friday, some of the American exchange students went to Sunny's (one of the exchange student's from Augie) Aunt's home. We had the traditional Thanksgiving meal and it was delicious!! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie...we did have a few Chinese dishes as well!
So, what am I thankful for this year:
1. I'm thankful for this amazing experience/opportunity! It truly has been life-changing!
2. I'm thankful for all the new friends I've made here, and also all my friends at home..who keep me updated on all the latest gossip..just kidding! ; )
3. I'm thankful for my family because they are all WONDERFUL!
Thanks again to everyone who has sent me facebook messages, e-mails, skype calls, cards, and anything else...I love hearing from everyone and it always brightens my day!
Also, side story on the title of this posts ("hello Melyssrrr, Melysssrrrrr): Everyday when I leave or return to my hostel, Bing Bing, the security guard, always greets me with a "hello Melyssrrrr" and I just think it's the cutest thing! Bing Bing is an extremely nice person, and she is always at the security desk (sometimes I think she sleeps here!) Alot of people here can't say my name right because the "a" comes out sounding like a "r." The pronouncing my name wrong with def. be one of my memories, so I thought I'd share it with you all!
