Two and Three

2 Are you by any chance coming to the states over the holidays?
Not really. They've got pizza here. Although pizza hut is the fanciest restaurant I've eaten at so that's weird.
3 Do they have big winter holidays in China?
Yeah we get a month off school, January I think, for Spring festival. It's when everybody goes home to see their family. But we work christmas day, in fact we have a "christmas party" at our school. People will do little sketches.
The one I'm really dreading is Thanksgiving. That was the one that really got to me when I was living on the east coast. It's not the working, that'll be okay, it's the being away from family, not cooking a big meal, all that. Thanksgiving was always my favorite.
