For me Thanksgiving was just another day. It was the day after the aborted trip to Thailand. So I was at the office late, yes I worked on Thanksgiving. Then I went home and treated myself to a good meal at one of my favorite restaurants—Le Rouge (http://www.lerouge.com.tw/en/).I some absolutely kick ass bruschetta (or however you spell it), salad, and some good pizza. This was the only time I ever had pizza on Thanksgiving and believe me it didn’t hold a candle to a turkey dinner. But unfortunately better get used to it since I am going to have to work on Christmas too.
I was pretty bummed the next day when it was Thanksgiving in the U.S. I talked to my whole family on my lunch break via Skype. My aunt had more than 30 people over to her house and I sure as hell talked to each of them. It was cool to talk to and see my grandparents and relatives. But at the same time it made me a little homesick that I couldn’t be there. My grandma made 11 pies and 3 turkeys—my family eats big. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday since my whole extended family gets together and just has an awesome time stuffing ourselves, telling jokes, bullshitting, and just having a rocking ass time and I miss that over here.
At the same time I have a lot to be thankful for. Not the least of which is having a job.
