Thanksgiving

Awe...I miss my fam! And my friends!

Thanksgiving in Korea is just not the same. However, I did eat an amazing meal today. How you get a turkey in Korea I have no idea, but it happened. It was nice to be around such good people, even if some of them were anything but sober. Picture one guy straddling two chairs, thrusting his hips in the air, singing to "you're a crazy b****," ...this is when you know it's not exactly the type of dinner where everyone sits down and says grace. Either way it was a good time. I also learned Koreans don't like turkey. Hmm kind of like how I don't like dried fish and squid with mayo and soy sauce, weird.

This is what dried squid looks like when you buy it at 711...



In all fairness some dried squid isn't so bad. SOME.

On a side note, I think that a major virus came and infected all of Korea. I'm sick, my friends are sick, my students are sick, my co-workers are sick, everyone is freakin sick! It sucks...As much as I love waking up every two hours because I can't breath, hacking up my lungs, and being constantly reminded I have a poor diet...i think I'd like to pass on the whole thing.

Ok I hope everyone had a great turkey day and is in good health! I'm out!

So glad to here you had a good Thanksgiving. I ate lots and lots! It is funny that they do not like turkey over there... but glad to here that you did get some. I agree about the squid. Looks disgusting.

Well I got to go. Sorry to hear that everyone is feeling crapy over there...that is no fun.

Love you.
