Tryptophan

It is cooling off a bit here in Korea, I can now wear a button down shirt without rolling up the sleeves.



Fall is my favorite time of the year. Although it is not fall yet, I am anxiously awaiting the cool breezes, scattered multicolored leaves and being able to wear fabulous fall clothes!



I looked at my school calendar and we are off for American Thanksgiving. It is truly the holiday I love the most because yes, it revolves around food. But it is the love that comes out of the food that makes this holiday more special to me than Christmas.


Christmas is so commercialized and encourages so much consumer spending, that the real meaning of Christmas is buried under tissue paper, I don't think that Jesus was born in the winter...I think he might be an Aries or Taurus. Anyway.



But food nourishes your body, helps regenerate new life in you, can create a mood within that no gift card can do at Christmas.



I love to cook. Because that is my way to show my love and it makes me happy that people enjoy the food that I make.



But this year, I won't be home for Thanksgiving. Turkeys are hard to come by here, but I wouldn't have no problem buying one off the black market but hey...I know I can't eat all that bird alone.



My point is I love to eat and sleep. Thanksgiving is all about that, so since I can't cook a traditional meal this year or visit countless houses and fall asleep watching some American football.... I am going to Tokyo!

Sleep also has restorative qualities. Ahhhh how I like to restore myself with food and sleep!

Tokyo Tryptophan-Plan 08. I just got my hotel and ticket reserved, hope I can sleep and eat well in Tokyo.
