Thursday November 23: Thanksgiving

I love Thanksgiving! Given that it was my first Thanksgiving ever, I didn't really know very well what to expect when Gita, one of my colleagues in the NY office, invited me to come and celebrate Thanksgiving with her boyfriend & some Australian friends.

Although at first stunned by the amount of food that appeared on the table (among which a lot of things I had never tried before such as Indian corn & sweet potatoes) I soon realised that actually most Americans consider Thanksgiving as an eating marathon: they eat some, then they eat some more, then they take a 15minute "power-nap" on the couch, then they eat some more... you see my point. In the end literally everybody is supposed to have an indigestion when returning home. All in all a fantastic experience (thanks Gita!)
