I woke up this morning and I got a strong sense of nostalgia for Connecticut.
Autumn is in full bloom in New England and I really miss it.
There are few trees in Shanghai, no Thanksgiving turkey, no pumkin pies or stuffing. No Halloween, no multicolored leaves falling to the ground. Nothing.These are the times that I think I made a big mistake coming here. The funny thing is that missing holidays like this was trivial when we made the decision to come to China but now, they are the things I really
miss. I know it is going to be really hard at Christmas time but, at least we have plenty of mosquitos as a substitute. We've gotten bitten so many times that I think we are actually on the mosquito menu. Maybe we're the blue plate specials....Sweet and Sour Tony, Moo Goo Gai Pan Susan or maybe some Meat Loaf Matthew. Yummy! Them's some good eats!
