Last, but certainly not least, there has been a widely publicized feud between the head honcho of the Summer School—Dean of Continuing Education and Extension Michael Shinagel—and a certain Summer School faculty member, Professor Hue Briss.

Shinagel summoned him to a meeting where it was suggested that perhaps doing one’s job is the best way of doing one’s job.

This month Bangkok Airways is launching its Mekong World Heritage Tour, linking Sukhothai with the unesco-listed sites of Luang Prabang in Laos, the ancient Vietnamese capital of Hue and the Khmer ruins of Angkor in Cambodia.

At the moment there isn't much to see except trees. But the Tourism Authority of Thailand envisions a 600-hectare-plus zone spanning the three countries, featuring resort towns, handicrafts, botanical gardens...

Though I haven’t got the willpower to make most cosmetic trends a reality even if they did include my hue in their palate, I’ve come to expect that ads and how-to’s will feature great products and tips for everyone who is lighter than, say, a paper bag.
