He just managed to spy some people sitting in deckchairs chanting, before a finger came out of nowhere and poked him in the eye. As he staggered back, the people started chanting, "Fourteen, fourteen, fourteen..." He put his eye to the hole.

I'm in the process of writing a book, part of which is based in Rangoon and Burma of 1935-42. My Dad walked 'The Trek' thru the jungles to get to Calcutta after the Japs bombed Rangoon, and I didn't want the stories I heard him tell to go to waste. So, your pictures were a great help. I also plan to visit Rangoon to get a feel of the place. But from what I've read, it was a totally different world then. Atleast seeing your pictures will be a pointer for my descriptions. I'm trying to put together the possible route he must have taken to reach the mouth of Hawkawng Valley from Rangoon. Any ideas? Great job! Dear Aung Htin Kyaw,

If so, we still don't know what your left hand's up to.

The world is made the way it's supposed to be made. I'll have to say every single burmese you talk to share your sentiments, not in a complacent way but rather a helpless way. In Buddha's teachings, everything happens for a reason. Every action results in consequences. We'll just have to see. If peaceful change is not allowed, a more violent one will likely to follow. When an oppressor doesn't take a chance for a peaceful change, he'll likely to face violence. We all should hope this is not the way for Burmese people since a lot of lives can be lost. What I'm trying to say is that just because some people and some countries are complacent about situations in burma, you shouldn't quit blogging. You have a gift that can make a difference. Your writings really spread the awareness of burma. You don't have to write all about politics. You can talk about humanitarian situations or things that people are not aware of. That of course should happen when you have time from classes. I know how you’re feeling. Don’t feel bad about everything. The world is made the way it’s supposed to be made.

This is absolutely cool website created by another American-burmese born in another part of the world. I have my blog too, just to express what i have and to gain knowledge from others. It is written in Burmese, I am not sure whether you can read all. I was born in Burma, but raise up in other countries, so i am also eager to find out more about burma cultures cause I am happy that i am Burmese, the rice bowl of Asia. Well.

I'm not sure how to trace your ancestry in Burma, but I think it's a good idea to find the birthplace (and place of death) of your grandmother, and if you have names/contacts of people who may help, it makes the search easier. Best of luck! Thai TV: Thanks. Your website’s interesting as well; too bad I don’t know Thai.
