Yan'going Yangon
Very sadly we are having to leave Burma a week early as we need to be surrounded by 1st world convenience. This is not a personal choice but a necessity as issues back in the UK have become unmanageable with Myanmar's generally slow speed Internet or sometimes just the lack of electricity. I'm really sad to be leaving as Burma was always "my big …
Yangon
... Yangon ASAP as reports of hostels and hotels being fully booked had filtered through to us. Without any delay, a man in a long-i came running across to us asking if we needed a taxi and whisked us off in his burgundy velour clad 'Nissan Cedric' with reclining back seats- still operational! The scenery on the way to Yangon seemed more tropical than Thailand and the people, transport and infrastructure very much more behind than anywhere we have been before. We both have ...
Information about vipassana meditation
... understanding their nature, and developing equanimity by learning not to react to them. Finally, on the last full day participants learn the meditation of loving kindness or goodwill towards all, in which the purity developed during the course is shared with all beings. A short video (5.7 MB) about the observation of breath and bodily sensations in this technique can be viewed with the free QuickTime movie player. The entire practice is actually a mental training. Just as we use ...
The ways of Buddha
... the acceptance of bodily functions in Burma. It would be dead silent in the room and people would **** and belch so loudly. Burke and I both found this very distracting. There weren't any other Americans in the course just a few other foreigners but mostly Burmese. It was nice to see people who live in a Buddhist country with such devotion and dedication to their belief and wanting to live a better and happier life. Many were returning students who had ...
1ers pas en Birmanie
... et réussir à se faufiler entre les stands innombrables (nourriture, produits frais, savon, chiques de bétel - très très prisé!, bric-à-brac électronique,...), les gens et les trous des "trottoirs" relève parfois du défi! Les odeurs sont parfois douteuses, et c'est assez facilement compréhensible si on jette un oeil aux arrières-cours... qui tiennent de quelque chose entre la fosse ...

“International or Domestic?”
Reviewed Dec 11, 2012
As a Myanmar domestic traveller into Yangon International you are treated to very little aircon, plastic seats, squat toilets and a dusty parking lot. But walk out the front gate after your domestic flight, turn right past the gilded VIP (government) terminal and into the wifi enabled shiny glass International Terminal and you instantly walk from 3rd world Burma back into 1st world South East Asia. Bliss, relief, sanctuary or come down? It's certainly the only place outside of The Strand Hotel that felt "modern" in all our travels around the country.
