Marko J's Shaky Cam #2021-001 - Mark's Thanksgiving Dinner in Phuket, Thailand
Channel: Mark Joseph Jochim
Date: 2021-11-25

Thanksgiving surpassed Christmas as my favorite holiday after I moved away from the States. I am not sure what I miss more -- the food, the football or the family get-togethers.  As time goes on, it is possible to recreate each of these: family calls using ZOOM, watching football using a VPN, and proper turkey-day food is available on the island at a price.

But I am pandemic poor in Phuket Town.  I don't have a lot of money to throw around trying to get to one of the resorts along the west coast of the island and then eating in a crowded room full of possible Delta carriers.  So, 2021 is another quiet Thanksgiving holiday at home -- hitting the open-air market and a mini-mart as I walk home from the bus stop after work. 

This video -- my first for this channel (my non-teaching channel) -- shows the results of my Thanksgiving meal shopping.  The food was good but it's something I can eat any day of the year.  I will need to better next time....
