Lucinda from Florida-my roommate and Jeff and Suchin Marcus. It was wonderful to meet everyone! If forced to choose between what was best about the Thailand Biennial considering the food, the animals, the royal treatment, gifts, adventures, culture, people and yes, some pretty nice plants, I'd have to choose the people.

Great photos everyone! A bit off topic, but be sure to do something with the Panoramic photo full of faces that every attendee received rather than letting it sit in a closet. I just put mine in an $8.99 frame from A.C. Moore, an Arts and Crafts store. With the green backing that came with the frame, it fit just fine. I also spent $1 for a small album to fill with photos for my father who doesn't use computers. I rarely print pictures anymore, but Walgreens did 100 4x6 prints for $10, ready in an hour. I'll show them to my co-workers before sending it on to my father in North Carolina.
