Went to China for Thanksgiving week. Seeing our mom's dad for the first time was a unique experience. He was very jovial and talked a lot. Seeing the village in which he grew up and still lives was exciting. The old world charm of the brick houses and the clean, verdant air was endearing. Seeing his home was oddly nostalgic. We met other family as well and had a lot of time to talk, catch up, and eat (lots of hot pot and dim sum). The trip itself was a little short, but we used our time wisely. Our cousin's husband drove us around everywhere. It was very nice. Our other cousin put us up for a night as well. That was after 2 days in HK and 2 days in Guangzhou, where we shopped for many things, including Anna's chinese dresses and other wedding paraphenilia.
Getting back, I did not experience that massive jet lag until Wednesday when I slept all the way till Thursday at 7 am, almost late for work. Just a relaxing weekend now. Wheeee!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
