Turkey in HKG United Club for Thanksgiving
Here in The UA club in HKG, its Thanksgiving morning, there is whole Turkey, being hand carved with some side dishes. Very surprised, early start to Thanksgiving (On the way back to States for dinner).

That's a nice thing to do in Hong Kong. I find such things annoying when they happen in the US. I hate when office and school cafeterias start providing Thanksgiving dinner on the days before Thanksgiving. Really once, on the day is enough - thank you.

But in Hong Kong it IS Thanksgiving Day. So I think is a great gesture for those that celebrate it and aren't home to enjoy the feast.

I think we should all just be happy the United Club is doing anything at all. We've all seen how UA has been more interested in cutting things rather than going to the extra mile. Whether this was initiated by someone locally or is a company thing it is a nice gesture for what are generally lackluster clubs.

Goes nicely with UA's 'no more real/red meat dishes in coach policy" 
.
Now the chicken/turkey food nonsense already starts in the lounge ... ok I understand it's a special occasion but it'd still get on my nerves.

Best to enjoy it and not mention anything, lest the HKG club manager could get reprimanded
