On Friday. Peter asked me what I had planned for the weekend. “You guys are usually doing something or another right?” Yeah that’s usually the case. This past weekend though was 48 hours of pure unadulterated lounging. It involved sleeping in strong coffee internet surfing movie watching bacon pizza wine sipping nibbling on persimmons and chestnuts and absolutely no housework at all.
Today at work we were all talking about the new E-2 visa regulations. In addition it looks like we’ve hired a new teacher - a friend of Bart’s. He’s from Kentucky and has a banjo! During my children’s class today. I took the kids out to collect leaves. It was nice to go for a walk in the fall weather and play with the kids as we threw dried leaves on each other and had a contest to find the biggest leaf. We’ll be making these leaf wreaths this week. It’s very easy and instructions can be.
- Terrible. I fell asleep for most of the movie. When I did manage to wake up. I fell back asleep because it was so dumb.
- Good. It was action packed and held my interest but most of the scenes were just down right ridiculous. Logic and laws of gravity were completely ignored. Still. I think that was part of its appeal.
What are you doing this weekend? After last year’s turkey free year here in Daejeon. I’m thinking of making a trek up to Seoul and joining The Republicans Abroad Annual Thanksgiving dinner on the 17th:
I hope it’s worth the price of a KTX ticket and braving the cold weather. Do you know of anyone who has attended the event in the past? I hope the turkey is juicy and worth it. Anyway I hope to hit What the book? and Yoricome. I also hope that they are worth it.
I heard about the Republican dinner but I’m having Thanksgiving dinner with friends the following weekend (Nov. 24th). They’ve got connections to the base and that’s where we’re getting out turkey.
BTW - The Daejoen-Chungnam KOTESOL Chapter is having a Thanksgiving dinner on Sat. Nov. 24 at Sun Moon University (Asan. 5 minutes by taxi from Cheonan-Asan KTX station). It’s 20,000 for non-member and 15,000 won for members. More here:
If you still want more turkey the Seoul KOTESOL chapter is having a Christmas dinner at 6:00 PM. Saturday December 15th. 2007. KOTESOL members 25,000 won non-members 35,000 won.

Thanks for the info. BTW. Costco is selling some pretty big turkeys here in Daejeon (20-25lbs.) for about 44,000 won. Now if I had an actual oven to cook it in. I guess. I can break off pieces and try out the toaster oven.
Wow that’s great. It’d be fun to cook one since it’s the first oven I’ve had since being in Korea. Unfortunately it looks like I’ll be at other people’s places for turkey dinners this year.
I'm Laotian. And American. I take pictures and do crafty things. I'm a glass half-full kind of girl. I teach English in Korea. As you were.
