Thailand-July 15, 2010
Today we attended two very prestigeous events for which we received a special engraved invitation. In the morning we attended an Internatonal Symposium on "Caring Leaders across Cultures" In Celebratoin of the 60th Anniversay of the Fulbright Program in Thailand at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was at this event that Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn was presented with a special award and spoke to the audience. Also speaking was Ms. Alina Romanowski, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Academic Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Department of State. In the evening, we attended a Reception hosted by the U.S. Ambassador to Thailand in Celbration of the Fulbright 60th Anniversary. The event was held at the Dusit Thani Hotel--very high society event! I wore traditional Thai dress! I felt like I was in a scene from a movie!
