Thanksgiving in Seoul

 

 

I will not bore you with all the details of our every gathering, but I feel that our progressive-style Thanksgiving party ought to make the cut.  Living in Seoul means living in tiny apartments with (at least in our school-provided dwellings) the most basic amenities.  This makes having a party, let alone a Thanksgiving feast, quite a challenge.

To solve our logistical dilemma, we had our feast spread between three apartments.  First we visited my friend, Alison's, apartment for appetizers and drinks.  We then mosied our way over to our apartment for dinner.  We had so much food!  I don't think I snapped a shot of just how much we had, but we fed 25 people comfortably with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, milk gravy (my parents would be proud!), corn, rolls, salad, pasta, vegetables, and cranberry sauce.  

Here's, of course, the most important part:

this.

 Though it was a squeeze to fit us all into our apartment, equivalent to the size of a large bedroom, we had a blast.

 Finally, after eating a ton and sitting on the floor, we dusted off our knees and clothes and walked over to another friend, Lisa's, apartment.  There we dove into the myriad deserts.

 It was awesome!

 Then we all played movie charades.  That may have been my favorite part.

 

 Oh, and we did a photo shoot, of course.

Alex was probably being ridiculous...

and I had to take action.

 All in all, it was a successful evening.  I even made cups and cups of turkey stock from the leftover bones, which are currently frozen and ready in my freezer.

Success!
