Belated Thanksgiving Post

How did anyone ever keep up a long distance relationship without the Internet? I'd never felt more isolated in my life than those first few hours after arriving in Leeds before my Internet was connected (while I had no phone either). Especially now that I'm alone in a foreign country, my computer is my lifeline to the rest of my world and I would be totally lost without it!




This Thanksgiving, I was VERY thankful for Skype. I still haven't found any other Canadians around to hang out with, so it goes without saying that I was on my own for Thanksgiving this year. Thankfully, Josh suggested an e-date via Skype for the event (dinner for me, lunch for him). Each of us prepared a meal, poured a glass of wine, and dined by the light of our LCD monitors. It was actually a lot of fun and *almost* felt like the real thing.
