“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, all foes to real understanding. Likewise, tolerance, or broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” - Mark Twain

Turkey Day
I wouldn't have even known that it was thanksgiving had it not been for the "Out of Office" automated replies I kept getting when I sent e-mails to the TFA headquarters in NY. How quickly I forget American holidays that defined vacations from school! Nevertheless, I was going to my friends' house, Michael and Noah, for dinner. So I made my mom's infamous carrot ring and brought it to our Americans-only dinner (even their Singaporean roommate wasn't invited!) They went all out to make it a Thanksgiving feast- turkey, mashed potatoes, wine, salad, corn bread and even pecan pie. The Moroccan cigars were a little out of place but nevertheless delicious. Ironically, one of the other guests was a girl I know from GW. The only thing missing was football and family... I get to see the latter in a month and I can forfeit on the pigskin for now. Happy thanksgiving everyone!
