Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving

Before leaving for Xi'an Christy and I sat down to watch a favorite episode of the Gilmore Girls entitled Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving... As you can see my Thanksgiving meal was a bit untraditional- no turkey, but I did have some Kimbob (one of my favorite Korean foods), potato jiaozi, and cashew chicken... Last year, Christy and I were sitting at a German restaurant in Thailand eating Thai curry....

This year, Christy and some of our friends were in Xi'an for Thanksgiving! In place of Thai curry, we enjoyed a bowl of spicy vegetable noodle soup at a small chinese restaurant that we found upon arriving in Xi'an! 5 RMB/ per bowl- less than 75 cents! Definitely one of the cheapest Thanksgiving meals I have ever had!

While somewhat untraditional, it was nice to spend some time with my friends here in China being thankful for the many blessings that have been given to me. I am, however, looking forward to a turkey dinner at Christmas!
