An Attitude of Gratitude From Around the World
Happy Thanksgiving!
We tend to think of this Holiday as truly American — the Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October, the US in November and Mexico celebrates in December. But throughout the world, all can have an “attitude of gratitude” and saying “Thank You” in a host country tongue will get you far. . . whether the travel is for business or pleasure.
