A buddy of mine recently moved into a huge house in a town really close to the Thai border, so he invited a whole bunch of people over. There was a mix of Peace Corps people as well as VSO (The British equivalent of Peace Corps. They're cool, but paid twice as much, get to ride motos, and have translators so they don't have to learn the language) volunteers from England and Australia. We had a pretty good time explaining what Thanksgiving is to them. We didn't have a turkey, but we had two chickens, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Someone's mother just visited, I think Kelsey's, from America and brought a whole bunch of ingredients with her, which was awfully nice. We also chipped in a dollar a piece to buy a bottle of jack daniels, and spent the whole day cooking, eating, drinking, playing trivia games, and two games of RISK. Just like my home in America, the men were kicked out of the kitchen for the most of the day before the meal because we have a habit of eating things early.
