Thanksgiving this year came twice- once in Seoul and once in Seogwipo. The Fulbright office (and the Embassy?) hosts an annual Thanksgiving dinner on the Saturday two weeks before the real thing. Our class has had quite the confluence of unfortunate circumstances as far as being able to meet the ambassador to Korea. Traditionally, the ETAs get to hang out at the Ambassador's house in August and then the Ambassador also usually attends the Thanksgiving dinner. Neither of these things has happened this year which is a super bummer for me, as that is a position I one day want to hold. Well, I at least would like to work for the Foreign Service but I guess we'll see from there :) Anyways, being in Seoul was lovely and me and claire and rachel got to stay on the American base near Itaewon which was an interesting experience. It was pretty cold, but nothing this Indiana girl couldn't handle.
