Last Thursday, 27 November was Thanksgiving in the U.S.. One of the special holiday for the Americans, almost all students, family members, which are distributed all over the country come for the long weekend at home with the family to celebrate Thanksgiving together. Very traditionally is served with almost every family a Turky with mashed potatoes and gravy as a main course, what Turkey enters the coma because it is simply done far too much food. Football runs in the traditional TV and after all the eating, the majority show a nap or watch a football.
The next day, the so-called "Black Friday" is the Christmas shopping season opened. Shops like Walmart, JCPenny, Sears and so on and so on, simply every business has reduced drastically the prices for certain items. Some shops open at 4:00 in the morning and hundreds of people are lining up hours before one of the super cheap flat screen TV or other limited items to get hold of. The sales are ongoing in most shops as of 4:00 am to 11:00 am, then what is left, if anything is left, then for the regular price sales. Deanna and I went to Walmart in Fredonia, we are just good time before the doors were opened and were able to witness arrived as hundreds of people streamed into the store at the same time are in the store a shoving and jostling, people to run as the first to be with the products.
same afternoon, my parents, Elizabeth and I drove to Niagara Falls and have spent the night there. On the same evening, Floyd, Deanna and I went to the casino, for me the first time. Elizabeth stayed in the hotel because they had vorbereiden homework and two presentations. We have "slot machines" (slot machines?) Played, I've made my CAN $ 28 CAN $ 75. The next day we went to a wine tasting at Niagara on the Lake and have then again made their way home. The annoying thing about the whole trip, is to wait at the border and to answer stupid questions from the border police.
