Away for the holidays
Perhaps one of the hardest things about living overseas is being away from your loved ones on the holidays. Take today, for example, September 15th, National Donut Day. Where are our dear little round loved ones? Well, there were donut shops in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and there are plenty of bakeries back home, but here--nothing. So we spend another donut day without donuts. It's sad, but that's the price you pay. Part of me wants to get some other treat so we can sort of celebrate. But what to get? The supermarket carries little muffins, which are vaguely like donuts. I suppose we could poke a hole in them and pretend or something. Or maybe I could just buy some Oreos. They're round, you know, and that might be enough to evoke the donutal spirit. Guess I'll have to poll the family and see what they think.
