Today's day was excellent and the lunch was as good as I expected. Since today is Thanksgiving day, I thanked everyone on Facebook and to my family. I webcamed with my friends from the state and had fun talking to them. There is one thing that I am still not grateful about and that is the fact that I am in Taiwan. I find that Taiwan has nothing good, everything is bad about the place but it's food. The foods are good here, as anyone can tell. That is if they know how to eat Asian food. I really want to fly back to California just to celebrate Thanksgiving over there. One Thanksgiving day in California can be as happy as all the happy times I had here in Taiwan added up together. It could be more, because the happiness I have here in this crowded island full of mopeds aren't very much. Although there are fewer tax payments and everything seems to be cheaper, I don't believe money is the problem for my family, to tell you the truth. Celebrating Thanksgiving in Taiwan is just not fun and isn't really a grateful day to me. Although the lunch was excellent, it was only excellent compared to the school's greasy lunch. I am grateful of everything but the fact that I'm in Taiwan. I tried telling my mom, but I can't live a life without her. The horrible fact is that she has a business here and she has to live here in Taiwan. I always sigh on the way back home thinking, this isn't my real home, I don't belong here, I'm an American and the society is just not fit for me. I'm not here to criticize the community here, it's great for the truth, but I am not fit for Taiwan. I WANT TO GO BACK TO CALIFORNIA! End of day.....
