Ja you missed out on a GREAT PARTY… it was so much fun!
Ah, it looks like you all had so much fun! LOVE that you sat on the steps of a bank to drink… i’ve done that so many times and you get so many dirty looks haha!!
I celebrated thanksgiving for the first time here in Chiang Mai with a big bloggers get together. Was so much fun! Mmmmm pumpkin pie…

Lauren oh we had a blast…. but um would love to know how you do this many times in your life…lol? I mean it’s so tragic…lol!!! I’ve heard so much about that TGing up there… I am a bit jealous.
Glad you crew had a stupendous (if tragic) time. Somewhat ‘routine’ holidays’ take on a whole new spin when you celebrate them abroad.

Thanks Brock… yes your right routine holiday to take on a whole new spin when we are abroad… but that is what makes them so interesting.
Ummm you forgot to mention that I had to wake up at 7am to catch a flight!
How I made it I’ll never know.

jajaja I have no clue how you made it… I was pissed when at 10am the damn lady came in and kicked me out of the fucking hostel… Im glad you did make it… we were wasted.
With a little distance, the “amazing” is even more amplified and the “tragic” is fading away. If it wouldn’t have gotten so cold, who knows how long we would have stayed on those steps.
Thanks to you, Ayngelina, Sheryll and Johnny for an awesome Thanksgiving – just the way all Thanksgivings should be… with great people.
Single tear.

I know right with time I just crack up more and more about the whole ordeal and love it more and more… oh & agree if it hadn’t gotten cold we would have been out there longer!
Single tear… miss you guys!
What a great Thanksgiving with friends <3

Agreed Heather… loved it!
LOL, I recognize some faces in that crowd 😛 Nothing wrong with a bit of curb gathering for good times.

Sam Im sure a few people recognize some of these faces… they are so loved!!! & true nothing wrong with this at all.
Love this article Jaime! Doesn’t sound tragic at all, seems like it was another amazing experience – Occupy Corner is the best! LOL
Thanks Kelley… the more I think about it the less tragic it seems… at the time it felt that way, but now I just laugh… its a great memory!
This reminded me so much of my first Christmas, New Years, and Australia Day in South Korea. Expat holidays are always such an eclectic mix and I rarely had a bad time out of it.

I agree Aussie, Im learning holidays on the road are a very eclectic mix that make them so much more fun!!!
Looks like such a fun night! So jealous you got to meet up with so many cool people 🙂

Aww, it’s so great that you got to meet up with travel bloggers to spend Thanksgiving! That’s a nice way to spend the holiday 😀
Audrey recently posted..The Highest I’ve Ever Stood
Thanks Audrey… it really was. I enjoyed it so much~
Great story! I ended up being homeless Thanksgiving morning because the person I was staying with had a death in the family. But, I kid you not, I was rescued by Indians and ended up staying with them for almost two weeks. The world is amazing sometimes 🙂

Oh I am sorry to hear that HP… I hope everything turned out okay for the person and his family! I do love that when we least expect it amazing things can happen out of the blue! I agree the world is amazing.
Epic. So wish I could have been there.
