Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. For all of you, anyway. For me, it's just another day. Another Thursday, which means I work extra long. BUT...it's not bad. It doesn't feel like it's Thanksgiving time (probably because they don't decorate or anything for it, as it's not a Korean holiday...). Of course I'm bummed that I can't be with my family, but I'm not sad that I'm here and they don't celebrate it.

To be honest, I'm thankful everyday that I'm here. I've been able to meet some AMAZING people--both Westerners and Koreans. I work with fantastic people...Gilles and John are two excellent representatives from Canada. Gilles's first language is French, and he's picked up a ridiculous amount of Korean. It's crazy how sponge-y he is with languages. John is awesome too. He is dating an insanely amazing Korean woman, Su Hyun. They live together and will be moving to Australia in summer. And that is fantastic for me because now I have two MORE reasons to travel there: 1) friends to visit and 2) friends to stay with for free! This past Saturday, I was out with another friend and we met three really friendly Koreans. Two guys, Jason and Jonny, and a girl, Ashley. I met Ashley for dinner last night, and we have plans for this coming weekend. She is AWESOME!

So really, I'm having such an incredible experience. This is enriching my life in ways I will only recognize once I return stateside. And I will be forever thankful for that!
