An American Thanksgiving in Korea

For about a week, Nissa and I had been scrounging around the Internet for some kind of satisfactory place to have a proper Thanksgiving meal in Seoul, but since we both work evenings, most of the good-looking options weren't possible for us. So I proposed we just go to a buffet lunch somewhere downtown and, in the spirit of the holiday, gorge our brains out.

We opted for the Lotte Hotel's "stylish buffet" lunch, and were surprised to be greeted by a large, red, Thanksgiving-themed banner with a glowing, golden turkey in the center. The meal, of course, wasn't the home-cooked goodness we'd have if we could, but it was still great -- turkey with gravy, roast beef, stuffing, potatoes, and yes, even a mini pumpkin pie. By the end of the meal we were both incredibly (and uncomfortably) full. So, mission accomplished. Happy Thanksgiving!
