He was coming over with the President of the University who wanted to meet me in my room?! 15 minutes later, I was dressed professionally again, Pirates was turned off and my work was on the computer screen.They came by and Duc ushered the president into my room in a very formal way....followed by the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I had ever seen...and huge!
The president very formally offered me the flowers and spoke of his gratitude for my coming to HCMA. We exchanged some kind words and smiles and then I offered him the only thing I had - some Ghirardelli Chocolate...hardly worth mentioning next to the bouquet!
His parting words were that if I had any problems whatsoever that I should call him personally.Then he left...with me holding a huge bouquet of flowers, honored, excited, worried that I had not said or acted in the appropriate ways to show him honor and thanks and very happy!
I thought only after he left that I should have asked him for a picture. Oh well, next time. I do have a pictures of the flowers, however!
I keep trying to send you messages on this ~ but have no idea if you are really getting them?

So good to hear that the work is exactly what you love to do, and the people kind and generous! The flowers are beautiful, and I think it doesn't get better than the finest chocolate :)
