Another first for this trip

This is a trip of first — first time clambering over one of the Wonders of the World, first time in China, first time travelling with a good camera and having some clue about how to use it …. but I think the ‘first’ which is really going to set this trip apart is that I’m joining a group of the local American expat community (all Sun) tonight for a Thanksgiving dinner at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Yanyuncun.It’s not something I’m used to (same goes for Halloween) except as an observer from the outside (“why hasn’t X replied to my email yet? Oh … Thanksgiving”), so this is going to be fun.
