Visiting (Dignitary!) Vegetarian/ American Thanksgiving

Posted on November 4th, 2007 in Posts (regular) by Sonia

Hello!  I’ve noticed a growing number of folks signing onto this website (can anyone make it interactive. . . ie, add a forum where people could contribute and discuss without going through me?! the guy who makes my website lives in Canada now, and isn’t even veggie, just a friend, so I’d feel bad asking him. . . as he’s done so much already!). . .

Anyway, on Friday, Nov 23, George Jacobs (bio follows) is coming into town, giving a talk Saturday at the Daejeon-Cheonan chapter of KOTESOL’s Global Issue’s Conference in Asan. As he’s interested in vegetarianism, I’m planning to meet with him for some touring in Seoul before he heads to Asan. On Sat we’re hoping to do a veggie dinner in Asan. Anyone interested?

Also, as I get off Thurs afternoon, I was thinking of heading to Seoul then. If someone can host, I’d love to do a vegetarian meal for Thanksgiving (USA) on Thursday. I would arrive in Seoul about 6, depending on where you lived, but maybe a latish dinner if people are interested. I am dying to do a “Turkey” made of vegetarian items. . . like a squash body with carrot feet, corn feathers, etc!! I’d be happy to supervise/do the cooking if someone could offer the space to host!
