Dr. and Mrs. Cohen came to visit me in Bangkok while they were traveling through, along with the Bolatins. First night, we went out for authentic Thai food, which we took boat to arrive at the restaurant. The next night, Dr. Cohen chose the restaurant and we ate really delicious French food. It was a good time to share stories of our home in Sharon plus traveler´s tips and adventures. They were wonderful people who also welcomed us into their home as we grew up. Charlie Bieber
