Thanksgiving

Well, we had an American Thanksgiving this weekend. It was pretty great. All the US and Canadian teachers got together, along with some of our Korean friends, and had a FEAST in Hagye. We didn't have anywhere to cook a turkey. Fortunately, there are these street vendors all over Seoul who have a truck that is basically a big rotisserie cooker. We bought 3 rotisserie chickens from one of them (We actually spent all day roaming around town to find one and couldn't. Then right before dinner, one parked in front of Brad and Steph's apartment. Very Nice). Everybody brought something. It was great. Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus, Salad, Fruit, Rice, Homemade Korean Curry, Pumpkin Pie (thank you CostCo), Flan.....we had quite the feast. We sat around all night afterwards playing cards and then most everyone went to the norae bang (singing room). I was pretty beat by then and headed home.

Overall, for my first holiday away from home, it went really well. It looks like Christmas is gonna be at Pastor Robert and Jenny's house. I'm excited :)
