Hi guys!
So Thanksgiving was last week. I was pretty sad, seeing as I had to work till 9:30pm on Thursday which pretty much vetoed any chance of having any Turkey Day plans. If you know me at all, you know I'm a holiday nut. I'm die hard. I watched Christmas vacation the first week of October. I listen to that whacked out Delilah on 93.9...even all the way in Korea. My Canadian friend Kelley said we should just celebrate it on Saturday. She has a pretty big apartment and she offered to host. I was pretty happy, but not expecting much. It's hard to find a turkey here and when you do, they're realllllly expensive. Thankfully, Bravo and all his foody genius found a place that would make all my Turkey Day dreams come true. The army base!!!! Yeah, I know, doesn't sound thrilling or very appetizing for that matter. They offered a whole Thanksgiving dinner, including all the fixings. I really love to cook, or attempt to, and am known to make a pretty good pie, but apartments don't have ovens in Korea. So, yeah, scratch that.
It took us 2.5 hours to get to the army base. In true Thanksgiving fashion, I hadn't eaten at all (to save room of course) and it seemed like 10 hours. I needed some photographic evidence that we actually carried a feast to feed 10 people on the subway. It was epic.
The dinner was surprisingly good, and there's nothing like 7 bottles of wine to wash those homesick blues away. I laughed way too much, ate too much, drank too much, pretty much everything in surplus.
Turkey and wine? Why yes.
Bravo likes food. A lot.Then we went to go see A Christmas Carol in 3D at the Imax. Probably a bad idea. I couldn't figure out if the 3D glasses were making things look fuzzy or if it was all that wine...Oh well. Either way, it was a GREAT Thanksgiving and I'm very thankful to be in this new place, with new friends.
James....he's a character.Hope everyone back home had a wonderful holiday :)
