Had a great Thanksgiving dinner courtesy of Xi and Yangjian, who made a delicious turkey and many more. After the meal, we watched a dvd together then played mahjong , the game of Chinese. I grew up in a province where people just love to play but I didn't really like it until recently because it reminded me the festival times at home. The game is so simple that you can pick it up within minutes but takes a long time to master. Nevertheless, everyone can enjoy it, at different competitive level depending on what rules you are playing with. The rules we were using was our own greatly simplified adaptation of the Chinese National Rules of Competitive Mahjong . Most of the times, I could only keep my intial wealth. But when we played again last night, I was very lucky to have doubled my poker chips. Hope it bodes well for the new year. BTW, we also went bowling in a AMF center nearby. It was fun.
