What does Sea Turtles, Karaoke, Thai Master Students, wine coolers and the beach have in common?

My first couple days in Thailand!

Loving it but miss my seattle peeps...more to follow when I am actually doing stuff besides petting sea turtles, rocking out to thai songs on a bus and sitting by the ocean...
Cheers, hugs N

HAPPY HOUR after MGMT Friday Apr 24th

So I was thinking we should mesh with some COPHPers and do a combined happy hour. Maybe we could have three tables: one for community dialogue on participatory based research, one table on global health determinants and positive/negative impacts on aid and one table to talk about how sweet the Seattle Sounders are!

Place: Kristos Eastlake
Time: after mgmt to go over our leadership dev't plans 5-6:30 this Friday.

Kristos is a new Greek restaurant and bar less than a block south of the University bridge (ie easy walking/biking
distance from school). The website doesn't say what their happy hourspecials are but this Seattle Weekly article says they have $4 wells, $5wines and a buck off pints, with the entire menu (excluding entrees) at 50% off.

Also, there is a group of us that will be heading to the Seattle Center at 6:30ish to go to the free world music from 7-10 pm after happy hour.

MARATHON: Vancouver May 3rd
