On Tuesdays We Wear Pink
Practically every Tuesday Eric has to hear Anna and I quote Mean Girls and not understand what we are talking about. If you don't know what I am talking about, please follow the link to the beloved Youtube.
Colors are a big deal in Thailand and each day of the week has a color. Thais know the day of the week they are born on and its coinciding color because that color will be good luck for them. Tuesdays are pink the students wear pink polos (and pretty awful blue sweat pants) to honor the king (although the king was born on a Monday, so maybe it isn't really to honor--not sure, this is one of the many things I don't really understand).
In this picture all 2,500 students are lined up for the morning assembly honoring the king.
