Thanksgiving Celebration

Last weekend Mrs. T organised a Thanksgiving dinner with our new friends from Wellington College and Tianjin. 6 weeks ago we made a list of 12 people that we wanted to have round for dinner, but that list quickly grew to 20. As the weeks went by and emails flew around we found ourselves with about 45 adults and 15 children!

Next step was food…..

Luckily we discovered that the St. Regis Hotel were selling cooked turkeys. Add to that everybody providing a dish and the day turned into a fabulous event! We were incredibly thankful to everybody for attending and I was particularly proud of my wife for organising the special day.

Beijing take 2: The Great Wall

A few weeks ago we took our second trip to Beijing.   Out of Tianjin on the Friday night train, on the town for a bit and up early for a drive out to The Great Wall for a hike.  About ten of us from school joined up with Beijing Hikers for the Jiankou ‘Big West’ Great Wall Hike.  It was our first experience with an organised hike and we really enjoyed it.  We found the entire excursion organised, convenient, good value for money and very interesting.  It was a beautiful autumn day, with blue sky and amazing views.  We were back home in Tianjin by nine in the evening and felt pleased to have really made the most of our weekend!
