My (Asian-Canadian) friend's Thanksgiving Eve.

This past Thanksgiving Eve, my one (Asian-Canadian) friend worked very late in the lab, and since his lab is located in one of the university's hospitals, there was a free Thanksgiving meal starting at midnight for all of the overnight workers.

The whole place was just deserted, he said, but then you got to the cafeteria, and it was just busy with a ton of people and even a ton of people getting multiple meals take-out style for their coworkers who were tied up for some reason and couldn't make it down for the meal.

One woman had a metal rolly cart, he said, with 11 plates of pie slices piled on it.

(He counted.)

He also said that on holidays he likes not being with family, since you have a chance to be in other parts of the world at times that no-one ever sees.
