I spent the last 5 days with my gf and her family. Instead of a full on turkey dinner with all the fixins, we had hot pot (shabu-shabu) on thanksgiving. Followed by an obligatory game of monopoly and a slice of everything I helped my gf bake the night before. It's nice to be with people where I feel comfortable and I'm simply surprised that I was comfortable with people that weren't blood related.
While everything wasn't roses the entire time (there was also obligatory family tensions) and the fact that I couldn't understand but maybe 1/4 of what was being said, I was still exceptionally comfortable.
In the week prior I laid down the law for her younger sister and laid out a plan of checks and balances to makes sure she does well in school.
It's a testament to how deeply I feel for my gf that I'm starting to really care about her family and their well being.

I'm Asian. I'm male. I recently moved to the New England area from the Deep South and hope to offer an interesting read from what I consider to be a unique cultural viewpoint.
