That's true. I thought about inviting all our neighbors to introduce them to American Thanksgiving, but then I thought...Nah. In Canada, we celebrated both the Canadian and American holidays, on their separate days (Canadian is in October). The Canadian one was vegetarian, with baked tofu instead of Turkey. :) And I think we had chicken for the American one. Haha. That’s true.

Yes, that's true. I thought about inviting the neighbors and introducing them to American Thanksgiving. But then I thought... Nah... :) When I was in Canada, we celebrated both the Canadian celebration and our own private US on on the separate days. The Canadian one was vegetarian, with baked tofu! :) Haha.

Another reason to be thankful for being overseas on Thanksgiving? I don't have to cook for as many people! I am just about to pull my turkey breast out of the oven.

We're having turkey tomorrow, just because it was on sale here in France. I don't really care about it one way or the other. My husband is nuts about the South Pacific and we just looked at your website. He wants to know if he can come <a href="http://thenewsbase.com/2009/11/the-benefits-of-wwoofing/" rel="nofollow">WWOOF </a>for you. :) Hehe.

I only wish we could get decent turkeys here ~ they're the size of big chickens (they're imported from Australia or New Zealand) and cost a FORTUNE! For whatever reason, turkey isn't something that interests anyone in Fiji except us expats! I’m thankful for wonderful friends, both here in Fiji, and “back home” in America!

Both locals and fellow expats. I think I also just click with other expats more easily because we have so much in common. That’s true. Both locals and fellow expats.

Maybe because you know you won't be there forever I've found I've become close friends with people much quicker than would normally happen at home.
