Still feeling cold anytime

May be some of you wonder why I put “still feeling cold anytime” as the title. It’s not that horrible anyway. That is just my joke, because the real winter has been taking place  for almost 1 months weeks. We have heater in our house here, so I always feel warm inside.

A few days before thanksgiving almost everyone talked about hunting. Hunting is typically American tradition before thanksgiving.  I went to Michigan in order to visit my hostgrandpa’s house. All the family member will gather in someone’s house in thanks giving.

We left our house at 9 am, and we arrived at Michigan at 8 pm. It was long drive away, we spent almost 12 hour on the road. One day later, we went to the festival, called “Turkey Trot”. It is a running competition, but you can either walking or running. The main purpose of it is having fun!! I just walked with my hostfamily and my grandpa. My grandpa isn’t able to run, so we walked intead. The city’s name that we went to is East Lansing, 10 miles east from the capital of Michigan.

We walked as far as 8 miles.  We headed back home afterward. We cooked turkey and the other food as well. Turkey was our main dinner menu.  We had some dessert also. It was the best time for those who haven’t men their family for along time and spending time with your family is the best time ever.

Thanksgiving night is different from any other night, because you can go to any store and get stuff you want cheaper than it is supposed to cost. That night is called Black Friday.  But you have to be at the store early than any other people, otherwise it will be sold out, but the worst thing is I didn’t go there. I was so exhausted. I had hectic thanksgiving day.

Thanksgiving day is celebrated evry November 25^th. We have 4 days off  to celebrate it. All the people around the world celebrated new year, so did I! My English teacher told methere is no specific  celebration here on newyears night, besides because the town that I am living in  is a small town, people here would rather to celebrate at their house with their friend than go outside . I went to my friend house on newyears night. The girl whose house I went to is  the exchange student from Germany.

All the people who were in the party are exchange student. We played a card game that I never played before, the way you play is there is supposed to be 1 judge among the player. And there are 2 different kinds of card, green and red cad. Every one has to has 5 red card. The judge will pick 1 green card and every player must pick the card that relates to the green card. The judge will five the greedn card to the person  who has redcard that most relate to it. The winner is the person who has 5 green cards. That’s fun! We listened to a lot of music and watching movie.

I even took a selfie with my hostfam when we were still walking on turkey trot, haha
