we had everything but dick clark




The New Year is the biggest holiday of the year in Thailand. So big, in fact, that they celebrate it three times: Western New Year on Dec. 31/Jan. 1, Lunar New Year, and Songkran. We've passed from 2006 to 2007, from 2549 to 2550, and in February we'll pass from the Year of the Dog to the Year of the Pig.

Needless to say, such an important event calls for celebration. The university's staff New Year party was quite an event. Some pictures:

The appetizer tray, which included very little that Brother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law could eat.
