Obama fans!

CONGRATULATIONS to all Obama fans! I hope he can lead our great nation with success! It's definitely a season of change!

Teachers at the boys' school have been keeping up with the election...some more than others. Otherwise, I haven't really encountered a "buzz" of anything more than that. Although, I know the world is generally looking toward the States' election results.

I'm never really sure what will get people talking over here...between both the Chinese and the expat community. I'm continuously surprised at what people take an interest to here in Shanghai.

With Scholastic book catalogs (for the kiddos at school) that sell books about US Election Day, and MANY people talking about the upcoming [American] Thanksgiving on November 27th and where to celebrate it...again, I just never know what will get people excited.

Since the world, in general, IS looking toward the US to see who will be leading our nation in the next four years...I thought I might have heard more than I actually have about it. Nobody on Shanghai Mamas is talking about the election...which include MANY Americans. TV's around the city aren't [generally] tuned into the US polls. Parents in school aren't talking about it.

Like I said...I just never know what will get people talking over here. The failing economy in the US, not to mention a global desire for a change in US Presidential scenery have impacted many countries across the globe, thus the global interest in "who's next?". China included! SO, I AM a little surprised I haven't heard more "buzzing" today about the US elections!

Regardless...we are thinking of everyone and all of our RIGHT to vote! :) HAPPY ELECTION DAY!
