Thanksgiving week...

Well, it's been a while again since I updated all of you...
Last week was hard emotionally because of Thanksgiving and all. Actually, the small group that I started going to had a thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday night but I didn't go because of having to work the next day.
This weekend has been good though. On Friday night I hung out with my friend Dyah at the mall. I was so excited to see Christmas decorations up! Even if not that many people celebrate christmas, I can still enjoy it here. I also got to buy a new motorcycle helmet! Now before you ask, no, I cannot drive a motorcycle...yet... But I often go along with others who drive and I always have to borrow their helmet. (The police pull over anyone not wearing a helmet.) Now I have my own!
On Saturday I went to the traditional market for fresh food and then to Carrefour for cooking ingredients. Santa went with me to a bigger Carrefour that has more items. I actually found taco seasoning and cranberry sauce! Now I can at least make up for missing it at thanksgiving.
After the English club, I was talking with some of the students (with Desy translating). One of the girls kept calling me "orang ingris" (English person) instead of my name! haha The other one asked me to invite her to America. I told her, "How can I when I am here? I'm not in America right now!" haha I didn't want her to wish to be in my country but to enjoy living here.
Today I had breakfast with Santa and her family. She showed me how to make biscotti (actually more like biscuits) so I can make it on my own now.
Well, I will go for now! Hope you had a great thanksgiving! Save me some turkey when I come home in June! :)

  1. Glad you bought a helmet. Have to take a picture of you on a motorcycle with your new helmet.
    Our Thanksgiving was five of us - Grandma and Grandpa, Jenny, Joseph and me. Grandma wanted to invite others but i encouraged her to keep it to us because of her health.
    We didn't get to go to their church's Thanksgiving service because of the snow.
    Liked your comments about the children's responses in English club.
