Yesterday was my first Thanksgiving out of the United States. It was pretty great. I woke up early in the morning to make stuffing. Making it was kind of an ordeal, between taking a bus to the grocery store and searching desperately for chicken stock (it doesn't exist here actually, I had to use a bouillon cube thingy). But it turned out great! I was impressed with myself.
For the actual dinner I went to DIK Kollegium, where some friends were hosting a pot luck thankgiving. My stuffing was a hit, and there was tons of delicious food. There were about 30 of us there, and it was a good mix of Danes, Americans and others (someone from Sweden, one from Finland, two from Poland...) At one point we had everyone raise their hand who was attending their first Thanksgiving, and about half did.
It wasn't anything like my usual Thanksgiving, but it was a good one. Of the many many things I'm thankful for, the newest one is Denmark. I'm so happy to be here and I'm sad that I only have a couple of weeks left!
