Thanksgiving at Ewha Womans University

Within a mile or so in each direction from where I live there is a university - 4 in all. I attend Yonsei, and the next one over is Ewha Womans University. (Yes, it is spelled "Womans" - no plural, no apostrophe.) Every day after I finish class at Yonsei, I now head over to Ewha and go into this underground building:

Here I meet a different student each week for conversation practice (Korean and English). I met these students through Myong Hee, a health education teacher here whom I had met earlier through Clara Song. I hope to write more about this conversation experience later. But now I just want to report that through Myong Hee and her students, I was invited to this real American-style Thanksgiving dinner:

The precooked turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping and cranberry sauce apparently came from the US army base here in Seoul; the rest was made from ingredients found at Korean markets. Forks didn't make it, though. Here I am with Myong Hee:

And these are two of my conversation partners who were at the dinner, Ji Min and Shi Yun:

It was fun to be with a group of Koreans and for once understand everything that was going on! It was an interesting mix of Korean and American - a good evening.
