America

Home.
I have had six meals already on this long day. Anna expects to eat nine by time she goes to bed for good.

Things we are thankful for:

Toilets.
Toilets we can flush. Toilets we can sit on. Toilets that have toilet paper. Toilets that you can put toilet paper into. Bathrooms with soap. And sinks
Water. Tap water.
Feeling like you are not getting scammed constantly. Related, knowing what is going on.
Not being aggressively propositioned by shopekeepers. Or those darn cambodian children Sam was unable to resist.
Being able to order vegetarian. Related, knowing what is in your food. Or what you even ordered.
Not sweating all the time. Related, not being ashamed to be in enclosed spaces with other people. And then having your shower be the highlight of your day.
White shirts that are actually white.

Anna suggests we should mention something about our families. But mostly we are thankful about toilets.
