This year’s Thanksgiving Day Dinner was held in the Westin Osaka, co-hosted by ACCJ Kansai. JASO-ACCJ Thanksgiving Day Dinner was fifth in the succession, and about 140 people cerebrated the most important American holiday with us. In the center of the room sit Roasted Turkeys with corn-bread stuffing served with cranberry source, correctly prepared to an authentic American recipe provided by Mr. Folk, chair of the Living Kansai Committee of ACCJ. After Consul General Mr. Patrick Linehan’s brief lecture on how to curve a roasted turkey safely and his subsequent proposing toast, Americans attending the party were surprised by the genuinely traditional taste of the meals and had wonderful moment enjoying every bit of the dinner. Also there were members having pleasure exchanging experiences with American students who were invited as guests about differences between life in the U.S. and Japan.
