PINK LADIES

Pink is the official color of Chulalongkorn University and the color to wear on Tuesday in honor of the King. Lucky for me, I have quite a bit of pink in my wardrobe, so people cannot tell that I am 'farong' (a foreigner). I had lunch with Dean Pornpen Pramyothin (she is on the right, Dr. Niyada in the middle). The lunch was for members of the Ethics Committee, of which the Dean chairs. This is a committee that makes recommendations to the national Pharmacy Board about cases of pharmacist misconduct. Apparently it is customary for the Dean to open up the lunch to faculty, before the confidential deliberations begin. Of course, excellent Thai food was served (see picture).

  1. Happy New Year! Lunch looks delicious, much better than your customary luna bar and fakin bakin. Hope you are learning lots and having fun. Miss you! Peace, Linda

  2. Hi,

    Happy New Year!

    Look forward to your daily blog.

    Would have dressed differently has we known
    Tuesday is 'pink' day. Maye be next week.

    Had everyone here Sat. afternoon for the
    Raven's game. Since they won, on to Nashville
    this Sat. Don't know who will host the festivities (David had mentioned taking Max,
    Linda, Lacey and Jared, but haven't heard anything more. We'll see.

    Typical Baltimore Winter day - cold,exactly
    32 at the moment, and raining. Luckily no
    ice yet. Hope none later - we can do without
    it.

    That's it for the moment.

    Love,

    Reta and
