Discover America: Thanksgiving
On Tuesday November 15th, there was a event at the intercultural center, Webb center. The theme was "Discover America: Thanksgiving". Actually, there is no Thanksgiving in our culture. This is our first Thanksgiving we have here in America. We haven’t known much about Thanksgiving culture, so it was great opportunity to learn about American culture, especially, Thanksgiving. When we got there, there were various traditional food looked delicious. It attracted our attentions enough to get there. Jane really enjoyed the food. There were sweet mashed pumpkin, cranberry sauce, sliced turkey, and apple pie, etc. We met some international friends there. The presentation was started. I liked comfortable circumstances there.
We listened carefully what he said. It was interesting to know origins of Thanksgiving.
He said that the Thanksgiving started in 1607, when the Englishmen were giving thanks to God for safe arrival and continual survival. In 1610, supply ships arrived at Jamestown, Virginia. The Pilgrims celebrated Thanks giving for three days, and had a feast for good harvest. The presenter said that the Thanksgiving settles down deeply in American’s mind.

We were very happy to know the origins of Thanksgiving. As long as we stay here, the U.S., I am sure that it will help us to understand better American culture. It was great opportunity to have some traditional food, knowledge of Thanksgiving. We hope we can go some other events on this campus.
