Cheers to the holiday that celebrates all of the
foods that are the most difficult to find in Korea! As most holiday weekends
do, Thanksgiving started off strong, with a trip to the bars on Thursday to
celebrate the Gyeongju waygook community and a birthday.
Needless to say, double gin & tonics made my Friday difficult…until my head
teacher canceled all of my lessons, let me nap until lunch and then sent me
home to feel better. He could clearly see through my façade of “No, I’m okay.
Are you suuuure that you want to
watch movies today? Okay, maybe that is best…” And it set the much needed,
relaxed tone for the rest of my Friday. Just another reason to give thanks!
Saturday was reserved for the Thanksgiving feast, hosted by Jessica and
Spencer. With over 25 people, it was quite the event! Like any traditional Thanksgiving,
there were endless amounts of food and drink. It’s things like Saturday night
that make me smile: Even in a country that most of us will only be in for a
short time, we’ve formed such unique relationships with one another. Regardless
of my seemingly bipolar feelings for Korea throughout the year, I’m really thankful
for the relationships that have happened here.
Hope you spent the holiday weekend with your loved ones & enjoyed every
minute of it! I can’t wait to spend my first few weeks in the states
re-celebrated the holidays of the past year!
