Gala Dinner

Last saturday in Feb 10th, Dudi and me went to Bkk. We were invited by Bill Botwick (president dir of GM Thailand) to attend again The 50th Years American Chamber of Thailand. When I read the invitation, it's written that this year is 50th years anniversary for american chamber. What??.. again??. Last year was 50th years too. This time the party was held in Royal Thai Navy. Wow I was excited. Since the party would be finished around midnight, so we decided to stay a night in Bkk. We were sitting together in the same table with Ruth and Bill Botwick, Myra Williams (Tobin was in shanghai), Kris & Mario Aldea, Yoko & Steven Small, and Geevan. At the other table there were Debbie & Ken Cavanough and another 3 couples from GM Bkk. Timlins, McGrats, Absilises, and Scott Robinson didn't come. Oh ya everybody asked Bill about the 50th years and he just simply said that this year is the right number. (lho salah tho... jadi yg bener tuh sekarang, he..he..) Anyway we really had a good time here. We left the party at around 11 pm and went back to the hotel. The next day on Sunday. We had lunch together with Nia, Lorenz and baby Nola Kroenert. The Kroenerts were here because they needed to do some final shopping in Bkk, before they leave thailand forgood -going back to Germany-. Since they were here, we decided to invite them for having lunch together in Erawan Grand Hyatt. It was very nice lunch and also sad as well. They will leave soon in the next 2 weeks!!. Nia and me are good friends. Lorenz is Dudi's friend. They play golf together almost every week!!. We couldn't take any pictures because my camera was death-no battery and Nia forgot hers in the car. Too bad...
