Thanksgiving in Beijing , China
My friend loves to celebrate Thanksgiving. They have a tradition here to have each member of the family invite a family to dinner….rules apply…..should not be American and cannot be invited a second time. Fairly easy to accomplish as the international community here is huge and varied as well as being transient. Thanksgiving being a regular work day here, my friend had her dinner last weekend. So this year at their dinner conversation was learning about each other. One gentleman said he worked on MR systems. My friend mentions me and says my husband works on MR for GE. He asks the name and says I know him……!!! So here we are in Beijing and this guy used to work at GE Global Research in Schenectady on MR’s while we were in South Carolina the first time. He left GE to work with another company here in China and just moved to Beijing last year. It’s a small world!! And he is not American, he is Dutch.
Love, fondly, sincerely,
Zaijian,
Ramona
