Visit To Embassy
Kipling was wrong in my estimation when he wrote: “Oh East is East, and West is West, and ne’er the twain shall meet,” for I paid a delightful visit to the Thai Embassy in Washington, D. C.
When I arrived, first of all, I was introduced to -Thai Ambassador, a short, slender' man, who was very friendly. Then I was taken to the room which I shared with Madam Amphai Punyaratabhan. The bedroom was plain but comfortable.
We unpacked and then had dinner, consisting , of Thai noodles with peanuts and meat balls. We ate with a big spoon and a fork as you would use chopsticks. We ate in the kitchen at dinner, and everyone was very friendly.
After-going out for a movie and a walk, we went home and had supper of rice, cabbage and fried boiled eggs. Television entertained us until bedtime, about 10:30. The next morning we had an American breakfast in our room.
We had dinner at 12:30, bud we did not eat at the embassy because they had a highly seasoned Chinese dish. My Siamese friend did not like it either, so we went to a restaurant and ate American food. Later we went to see “The Merry Widow," after which we came back to the embassy and had Siamese food. We then went to the embassy at about 12 ;30. All of the Siamese people seemed to-like bowling very much.
Since I had to leave at 1:30, I just stayed at the embassy and watched television all morning. When I left they all told me good-bye, and I was invited back for September 21.
The embassy was very large and pretty. They had two living rooms; one informal for the use of the boys
