Yesterday I tried to type in Myanmar for the first time using Zawgyi Keyboard. Very difficult. I typed in word and thought I will cut and paste the finished product into the blogger. After trying for more than half an hour to get one paragraph in Myanmar, I realized that I cannot paste it into blogger! Everything turn out horrible. My Myanmar alphabets are jambled. Lots of question marks everywhere. Why is it too difficult to type in Myanmar on the web??? Anyway, it is fun typing in Myanmar. May be sooner or later I will be able to find a way to post it. Until then...

Hi all to all my friends out there. I am back in Myanmar a few days ago. I cannot use any mail as they are blocked here. Fortunately, I can still use this blogger so i can post some more posts in my blog until I travel up country a few days later. So I will not be able to post for another 2 or 3 months as there is no internet access where I am going. Anyway, I will be able to post again when I come back to Yangon. I will also post some more before I travel.

If you happened to be in Bangkok and want to change your US dollars or pounds or Euros into thai baht, the easiest way is to go to a money exchanged from a bank located in most places, especially shopping malls and tourist areas. However, the rate they pay is too low. If you want to exchange large amount of money, say 1000 dollars, then a good idea is to go to one of those authoruzed money exchanges. They are not as numerous as the bank exchanges but they pay better than banks. A few days ago, I went to one such exchange which name is Super Rich . While those at the banks paied around 37.17 baht a dollar, they paid me 37.50 baht! and for 1000 dollars, it is 330 baht difference!!! It is located near Big C at Chidlom. Take MRT, get off at Chidlom, walk past Gayson Department Store to Ratchdamri Road to Big C. Enter the stree to the left of the bus stop near Big C. There is a sign board for it. You also get more if you want to buy some US dollars too. ဘန္ေကာက္မွာ ေဒၚလာ လဲခ်င္တယ္ ဆိုလွ်င္ေ...

The Chindits were the largest of the allied Special Forces of the 2nd World War. They were formed and lead by Major General Orde Wingate DSO. The Chindits operated deep behind enemy lines in North Burma in the War against Japan. For many months they lived in and fought the enemy in the jungles of Japanese occupied Burma, totally relying on airdrops for their supplies. There were two Chindits expeditions into Burma, the first in February 1943 Operation Longcloth, consisted of a force of 3,000 men who marched over 1,000 miles during the campaign. The second expedition, Operation Thursday, in March 1944 was on a much larger scale. It was the second largest airborne invasion of the war and consisted of a force of 20,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers with air sup...

ဗမာလိုေရးမယ္။ Well, here is a Myanmar Character Picker, where users can input Myanmar texts without knowing Myanmar keyboard. It is a neat little program and looks quite useful and easy. Unfortunately, there are a few short comings especially as I cannot find Ya-Yit and Ya-Pint, as well as I don't know how to write Pat-Sint. Also there are some unfamiliar Myanmar characters, too. Can anybody make sense of this little useful utility. If anyone of you know how to write Myanmar without using keyboard, please post it in the comments. Also let us all know if you know how to put ya-pint and ya-yit in this Myanmar (Burmese) character picker. For now, here is Myanmar Character Picker / Myanmar Virtual Keyboard / Burmese Virtual Keyboard .

I DARE not ask a kiss, I dare not beg a smile, Lest having that, or this, I might grow proud the while. No, no, the utmost share Of my desire shall be Only to kiss that air That lately kissed thee. Robert Herrick

HALF a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. ‘Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!’ he said; Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. ‘Forward, the Light Brigade!’ Was there a man dismay’d? Not tho’ the soldier knew Some one had blunder’d: Their’s not to make reply, Their’s not to reason why, Their’s but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volley’d and thunder’d; Storm’d at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred. Flash’d all their sabres bare, Flash’d as they turn’d in air, Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wonder‘d: Plunged in the battery-smoke Right thro’ the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reel’d from the sabre-stroke Shatter’d and sunder’d. Then they rode back, but not, Not the six hundred. Cannon to ...
