Thanksgiving

Last Friday all the ETAs were invited to celebrate Thanksgiving at the residence of U.S. Ambassador to South Korea, Miss Kathleen Stevens. I volunteered to go in early and help with the preparations. Needless to say, by the time I'd arrived much of the work was finished, so a few other ETAs and I were left to marvel at the Ambassador's residence, a hybrid of eastern and western elements that combined, make for an architectural masterpiece.

Next topic of conversation: yummy food. Thanks to hired catering - I feel so spoiled - I ate all the traditional Thanksgiving food, and more. To cap off the hearty meal, a group of talented ETAs volunteered their time to put on a concert for the rest of us. I was overly impressed - and a bit jealous, to be honest - by their tremendous talents. Of all the performances - which ranged from Bach to the Beatles - I can't decide which I enjoyed the most, Shosty, more formally known as Shostakovich, or the timeless classic "No Scrubs" by TLC. Needless to say, Thanksgiving dinner went extremely well, presumably for all the ETAs, but more importantly for my stomach.
