Interesting Myanmar Websites

I will start posting the reviews on the Myanmar (Burmese) websites I have visited here. The reviews will be updated frequently and regularly so you should check this website every few weeks.

Here are some of the interesting sites I have visited recently.

Yangoncity - Official website of Yangon (Rangoon) City Development committee. Nice Myanmar site but uninformative. Lots of ads. Has a nice chat rooms. Also host an online community. Can also listen to the City FM Radio. Some Myanmar and Yangon news. Worth a try.

MM CGI - Myanmar CGI group's website. For geeks only.

Planet - Myanmar website for young people. If you are under 20 (or even 30), this is for you. Myanmar news, articles, Myanmar music, Myanmar chat rooms, Myanmar magazines, Myanmar cyber friends, and lots. Also has an online directory. Should visit.

Shwenet - Shwenet Myanmar online directory. My site is listed there. Myanmar (Burma) News. Shwenet online Myanmar Radio. Photos, jokes, poems, models, actresses, cartoons, ecards.

Zinyawni - My friend Ugly Duckling's site. Quite interesting and well executed. A real professional site. Music, downloads, forums, online community. Must visit site.

Burmese online - A must for all the Burmese people who really want to chat (and perhaps meet an online friend, or romance). The biggest Burmese (Myanmar) online community and chat rooms. Photo gallary. Definitely the most essential site for all those Burmese people out there.

Yellow Pages - Official Myanmar Yellow pages. Mostly out of service. You can try your luck. If you are really lucky, you might be able to see something (Hee hee).

Classical Songs - A site for old Myanmar classical songs.(Thi Chin Gyi). You can listen to some of the famous Myanmar old classical songs, if you are interested. (I am not interested so really don't know you can really listen to).

Professor - Another site of Myanmar rapper group. Some animations they made. Why not pay a visit.

Myanmar History - Only for those who are really interested in Myanmar history. Quite interesting articles on Myanmar (Burma, Burmese) history by professionals including U Aung Thaw, Col. Ba Shin, Daw Kyan, U Lu Pe Win, Takathou Maung Maung Gyi, Thiripyanchi U Mya, U Myint Aung, U Pe Maung Tin, U Sein Maung Oo, Taik Soe, U Than Swe, Dr. Than Tun, Henery Wotten, Dr. Yi Yi, Saya Zaw Gyi, Zayya.

Ayarwaddy - Myanmar photos on the web. Lots of very good photos on Myanmar (Burmese) culture, life, people, tradition, ethnic races, places. Include photos on Yangon (Rangoon), Bago, Mandalay, Bagan, Naga, Chin, Kachin, Shan, Inlay, Putao, Ayarwaddy, river dolphin, Pyinoolwin (Maymyo).

HSdejong - Another Myanmar photo site. A photographer from Europe who got married to a lady from Pagan. Lots of interesting photos on places in Myanmar and Myanmar way of life and culture.

Great Mirror - Another Myanmar photo site with a great collection of Myanmar photos.

Trek Earth - Myanmar photos on the web.


MyanmarMP3 - Free download for Myanmar MP3 songs. A great collection of modern Myanmar pop and rock. Registration required.

Myanmar Stamps - A site about Myanmar (Burma) stamps from colonial period till now. Very interesting site.

Under the rain in Chin State

It is raining all day, almost everyday. The roads become quite wet and muddy. I am really traped inside now. It is inconvenient to go out in the rain. Whenever it rains in Chin state, the temperature drops dramatically, and it becomes very cold. And the wind also blows quite strong. The sound of wind blowing through the pine tree is so loud and terrifying. And the thick fog reduces visibility to almost zero. Everything becomes quite gloomy. In this small little town in Chin State, in the heavy rain and thick fog, I am traped indoor. Although I want to go out and take photos, this sad weather doesn't let me do what I want to do. So all I could do is to lie down in my bed and wish for sunlight. Because of continuous rain, I couldn't wash my old clothes. Smell coming from the pile of old clothes in the corner of my room is now quite unbearable. And I am gradually running out of clean clothes. If the rain doesn't stop in a few day, I think I will wrap myself in a big blanket li

How to insert images and pictures in Gmail

Gmail is cool, really cool and I use it as my primary mail. I used to use other emails before but now I use gmail as my sole email. I even assess my office pop mail using gmail's pop collector. However, there are a few things that I like to see in gmail. 1. You cannot insert images and pictures into gmail message. You can send them as an attachment but you cannot insert them into the message body. 2. You cannot format the message using html. That is too bad. OK, they are too bad but you can still do these, and it is not difficult. Very easy indeed. To so these, first, open a google document. Write your message with message in it. Just write anything you want and insert any picture or image anywhere you want in the message. After you finish, just select the whole page and copy. Then go to gmail, open the compose window, and paste. Done! It is that easy. Now what if you want to do some html formatting? Go to google pages, create a new web page (no, you don't need to publish it),

How to address a person properly in Myanmar

In Myanmar, if you want to be seen polite, you should be able to use proper title when you address somebody. Burmese use appropriate titles and pronouns when addressing each other. When you are talking to an elderly male, you should put “ U ” (pronounce Oo) in front of his name. Thus, Mr. Ba becomes U Ba . This is also true if the person you are addressing is a government official or somebody of high social status. When addressing an elderly female or a female official, address her with “ Daw ” in front of her name. (E.g. Daw Mya ). When talking to a male of the same age and social status, you should put “ Ko ” in front of his name. ( Ko Mya ). If a female of the same age, use “ Ma ” instead. ( Ma Mya ). To a younger male, you can either use “ Ko ” or “ Maung ”. ( Ko Mya or Maung Mya ). To a female of younger age, use “ Ma ” also. ( Ma Mya ). To address children, use “ Maung ” for a boy and “ Ma ” for a girl. You should also be able to use proper pronouns when talking to Myanmar pe
