And in the spirit of all things “Thanksgiving”, here is this year’s Hachie Gal expat list of thanks:

(1) Boots pharmacy – if you have to ask, you’ve never been.
(2) Sky Digital – enough said!
(3) Related to #2, NFL Live on Sky Sports…each and every Sunday.
(4) Some great trips this year and the promise of unlimited travel destinations in 2007.
(5) A season of fall foliage – it just doesn’t happen all that often in Texas.
(6) OV language films in Germany. Or better yet, English films that are NOT dubbed into other languages in other European countries. Thank you, France!
(7) My favourite German foods: Nuremburger sausages – these are too good, sauerkraut, and printen.
(8) A year and a half of Germany living under my belt; yes, it does make all the difference in the world.
(9) Christmas vacation in less than 4 weeks…in Texas. Yep, pardner, I do actually miss it sometimes.
(10) My global shopping network that sources the following: deodorant soap, brown sugar, canned pumpkin, canned sweet potatoes, vanilla extract, Rotel, Velveeta cheese, cream of “you name it” soups, various and asundry medincines, Crystal light, and corn tortillas. It is truly becoming an international sourcing operation.
(11) A great group of team-mates…they’re AWESOME!
(12) The Dusseldorf International food store.
(13) The American Women’s club – the best source of expat news available.
(14) Translation websites.
(15) Family and friends – we may not see each often, but you are all reasons to give thanks.
