| "This WOMAN..." |
One important thing that I failed to mention in my recounts of His
Majesty’s Birthday – was the amount of photographers and media that took our
pictures and interviewed us. I have never
felt so uncomfortable in my life. I
assumed everyone (especially foreigners/tourists) came out to see the King –
but I quickly learned that there are not that many falangs (foreigners) that
come to see His Majesty – and there certainly are not that many falangs with
BLONDE hair that come to see the King.

| Carolina and I also got our picture in the paper! |
Tuesday during our lunch break at Chula, one of my classmates came
running up holding The Nation, one of
Thailand’s largest English newspapers.
He was covering a spot in the paper and said, “Guess which one of our
classmates is in THE NATION?!” …As we
searched more papers, it became clear, that there were several featuring a
certain blonde “foreign woman” in the paper.
It certainly was embarrassing!
I never have felt so “different” in my life.
