Those Spoiled Americans... (Pt. II)

The yankees have done it again. They found another way to one-up us other international students and rub it in our faces.

How did they do it this time? Today was American Thanksgiving and they, being well-taken care of by their program directors, had full-course dinners of turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry, stuffing and the lot. They even had pumpkin and apple pies! They also dressed up all fine 'n' respectable and hung out in the lobby, like it was prom night or something...

And were any of us invited to these sumptious feasts? Hell, no! I ate rice-and-beans leftovers from last night, with pineapple Fanta.

Happy freaking Thanksgiving.

Mmmm, Fanta...It's Reich-tastic. Seriously, they still make that stuff? wow.

Are you kidding, man? Aside from still being "die sheiße" in Germany, it's also the standard fruity drink here in Ghana (and probably many other countries, since it's owned by Coca-Cola).


Sidenote: I finally got the room to myself for an hour and popped in your first travellin' CD. When I heard Neil Young singing "Everybody knows this is nowhere", I laughed out loud. Ya got me good, Krauter!
