What do Cute Girls do for Thanksgiving? Normally we would cook and listen to NPR like the domesticated dorks that we are, but this year we are in Thailand so neither of those activities were possible. Well, we didn't make it out to the beach as planned, but we did wander around a grocery store for a couple of hours. We found lots of Tuykey Day-esqe things, like thai pumpkin filled with custard and chocolate ice cream. Well, the chocolate ice cream was just 'cause we wanted it, and Cute Girls like to share things out of a single container (or drink a single bucket to booze with two straws). The highlight of Thanksgiving came later in the day, when we ventured out to an Irish pub (owned by an American and Englishman and managed by a Canadian) and listened to Latin music. The owners had managed to find a whole turkey and pecan pie, so we got to eat a free Thanksgiving dinner in an Irish pub in Thailand(not likely that I will ever get to say that again). The scariest event of the evening was riding on a motorbike taxi. We have been avoiding this and walking everywhere because it looks like you might die if you climb on the back of one of those scooters without a helmet on. Other students here have been renting them and driving all over, but all that tells me is that they don't particularly value their lives. We did, in fact, survive the experience and we may do it again sometime. For now, I am happy to say that I had Thanksgiving in an Irish pub in Thailand. I guess I could die happy...
