it’s thanksgiving day in korea. for the first time in my life, i’m spending it away from my family.
boo.
i did, however, decide to cook for the occassion. i paid out the ass for some salmon filets, had my mom mail me some stuffing, mashed some potatoes, and put together some homemade macaroni and cheese. i kind of forgot to cook the vegetables. oops.
so i’ve got another holiday away from home under my belt. it really wasn’t that bad. the only thing that really bothered me was the fact that i had to work today, while everyone back at home on twitter and myspace was tweeting and talking about having the day off. oh, well.
as i said a few posts back, i’m supposed to be going to thailand at the end of december. as of yesterday, the main international airport for the country is being occupied by protestors who want the country’s current leader thrown out of power. this means all outgoing and incoming flights are cancelled! awesome! and though the head of the military says he will not lead one, it’s looking more and more like a full on coup is about to break out. keep your fingers crossed for me…i’m going to be a little angry if my week of vacation is spent in my apartment looking at my $1500 e-ticket.
all in all, i’m not that worried. what happens will happen, and whether we’re here or there, at least jeremy will be hanging out with me. so i still have something to look forward to.
i spent all day following the thai news and the news coming out of mumbai. at one point, i was staring at the home page at cnn.com and was a little taken aback at how horrible all of the headlines were. i guess i can’t really complain much about the potential of missing out on a week of bangkok and beaches.
so to my friends in america, happy thanksgiving. to my american friends in korea, hope it was swell.
