It seems to me that I am woefully unprepared when it comes to dealing with Earth customs and norms. Altean garments don't seem to match up to what is usually worn around here, and I can't say I really recognize many of the names of ingredients used for these dishes you prepare for Thanksgiving. (Cooking was, unfortunately, never my area of expertise anyway.) Is there a beginner's manual somewhere for this sort of thing or perhaps someone willing to help?

	i am familiar with this feeling, so i understand. learning entirely new customs is certainly odd. but there are classes here, and a library full of books. i can be of no help on the cookin front, as it was never something i needed to know. i am still not entirely sure on the holiday or i's purpose either.

	They have classes? You mean for those who are not from Earth or just in general? I've been told it is mostly about food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	general classes, but they do brush on the things people consider normal. that's a little odd, but somewhat understandable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Earth is full of odd things, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oh yes. some are understandable, some not so much. i always feel one step behind, and i am not used to that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There really should be a class then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maybe there is one and i have yet to find it. or if there isn't one, perhaps there are people to approach to ask about it. it might do well for people like us, who come from such different places. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounds like an excellent idea. On my ship, we have lessons for anyone who would like to learn Altean. (Reply to this) (Parent)
