... br>Sevaerdighederne lever virkelig op til de historier vi har hort folk fortaelle som har besogt landet. Alle dem vi indtil videre har set har virkelige vaeret helt utrolige smukke og overvaeldende gyldne. Myanmar gor virkelig noget ud af deres kulturvaerdier og stort set alt, hvad der har med Budha at gore er belagt med guld og kan naesten ikke komme til at vaere storre og smukkere. Og templer...ja de er baade store og smukke, men jeg kan naesten ikke beskrive dem. De skal ...

... in one of my previous emails, these children do not get split apart from the family during the service as they do in the United States. The Burmese parents would never consider "child care" to be required nor would they think that they should "burden" another person or so they could care for their children. As they see it, it is the parents responsibility at all times to care for their own children and to teach them the Laws of God. Again, the believers in Burma expect their ...

... if faithful
From the beaches of Burma to the mountains all Burmese must learn of God
Lets sing his praise, alleluia, alleluia"

The kids sand a submerse version of that old classic children song called "Jesus loves me." They even danced as they sang. After the children sang, a brother gave a prayer and then two sisters from Beulah Ministries came up and sang a beautiful song. These two sisters are like Siamese twins (no pun intended). Every time I see them they were either ...

... School for the Blind. The moment our taxi drove thru the gates opf the school, my heart was touched and at times, it nearly broke in half. This school was unlike any blin school I have seen before. First is how totally inadequate it woudl be by western standards. Not only is the building barely functioning, you have a number fo wood shacks serving as home for the parents of blind students or for the adult students themselves. James took me around for a quick tour ...

... the military government) and eager to chat. I was surprised by how freely and openly they criticized the government and praised Aung San Suu Kyi. When asked, they told me it’s ok as long as they don’t do it in front of the police. So, it is not quite 1984 – yet. Some of them expressed hope that change will happen in the foreseeable future (election is scheduled to be held in next year, but whether it will actually happen is anybody’s guess), saying that the US ...

... que enllaca amb els indrets mes perduts i que envegen els seus veins. Sens dubte es van aprofitar del poble birma, pero si mes no van saber deixar alguna llegat practic que van poder aprofitar els locals despres de la seva independencia.

Si les pluges monzoniques s'havien mostrat timides i esquives a la resta dels paisos del sud-est asiatic que he visitat, la meva arribada a Yangon, coincideix amb alguna mostra de la seva versio mes virulenta ...

... was able to get my things. YEAH! I decided to change and put long pants on instead of my sweaty clothes. While I was in the toilet (hole in the ground that you fill will water from a bucket to flush) I dropped my skort on the wet floor while changing, not once, but three times. Needless to say, I was a bit upset! I hope I don't have to burn it now! The bus departed on time at 5:30. After the first hour Bill and I noted that the non-stop horn honking by the ...

... than usual. Most places in places in Yangon block Yahoo, but there should be a few places that don't. Seems like the places I went last time have started to block them. I give up after a while, I can do it in Bangkok. After the sun goes down, it's time find some football and dinner. This is easy and I settle in for rice, beer and the North London Derby. On the way back some guys are playing football in the street ...

... rigged together by someone who had collected odd parts over time.

One of the characters we met there was a young cycle rickshaw driver named Soe-Soe. He was a father of four and lived in a bamboo hut nearby. He had obtained an old computer keyboard and was teaching his young children how to use it even though it was not connected to a computer or a screen. He had expanded his fleet to two recently and could arrange transportation by rickshaw, blue truck taxi ...
