We rode back into town in the nursing school van and returned to our hotel to attend the masters students' graduation party, which was in full swing when we got there. There was stage on which a Karaoke rig had been erected and two nursing students were singing Thai pop, including a cooking song that had apparently been written by one of the princesses and involved various active ingredients, including a chicken, to celebrate diversity. Apparently this is how the princesses assert themselves: later on we were shown a set of inoffensive handbags that one of them had designed.

We were enjoined to take part in the festivities by dancing Thai fashion, which seems to consist of swiveling around and shuffling along in a circle while twisting your wrists in the air. So we did that, and sat through various presentations and entertainments, including a trio of students dressed up like chorus girls who danced in front of a sign saying "Congratulation, Nurse Admin SU3" until Nongnut escorted us out and bid us adieu. Debbie instructs me to tell you that we had fun.
