A New Myanmar mp3 download site - Thanzinhlaing

Image
Than Zin Hlaing is a new Myanmar mp3 download website. Although this site has not as many collection of Myanmar mp3 songs as myanmarmp3.net , there are quite a number of albums here that worth listening to. Moreover, there is an online radio station where you can listen to many Myanmar songs. I believe in a few months time, this site will have many more songs than now.

Kya Kyan (Kya Gyan) by APK

Here is a document I found on SCRIBD . It is called Kya Kyan (Kya Gyan) , a collection of series of weekly cartoons by Aw Pi Kyae (APK). APK is a famous cartoonist who usually portrays the rediculous aspect of human nature in a humerous way. His cartoons are famous among Myanmar readers as they delicately portray the current social situation in Myanmar. The one here is a good example. It is written in Burmese so you won't understand the meaning of these cartoons. Even if you read the English translation, it is difficult for you to understand the hidden meaning as you need to have a thorough knowledge of the current social situation in Myanmar. Anyway, enjoy.

I started blogging 4 years ago. At first, there were only a few visitors each day, less than 10. Now, there are around 300 page views a day with around 200 visitors a day, and growing. Today, my blog has reached 100,000 page views and more than 60,000 visitors! I take it as a mile stone, although it takes 4 years to reach this visitor number.

Myanmar Traditional Medicine

Here is an e-book on Myanmar traditional medicine. The book describes in detail the traditional medicine diagnosis and treatments. Although it is intended for the ordinary people with no background in traditional medicine, it is a valuable book for the learners of Myanmar traditional medicine. Unfortunately, the whole book is written entirely in Burmese, so those without the knowledge of Burmese language cannot read its contents.

Documents of Myanmar Socio-Economic History

Image
Here is a website that will be of great value to those studying Myanmar History. A Japanese foundation had obtained some photographs of old Myanmar ancient parabaiks (documents) from a number of collectors and made them available on the internet free of charge. These consist of a number of parabaiks with a wide range of topics from astrology and traditional medicine to court proceedings, contracts, loan contracts and many other documents that reflect the socio-economic situation of ancient Myanmar. You can find these parabaiks at http://taweb.aichi-u.ac.jp/DMSEH/index.html .

Buses in Yangon (Rangoon)

Image
Photo: BooBooToo2 If you ever traveled to Yangon for the first time, you will be amazed by the public buses running the streets of Rangoon. Not only are they old and worn out, they are also overcrowded. And some of them date back to the pre-world world 2 era. Many wooden buses from the colonial period still run the streets of Rangoon. They are old, dirty, crowded and break down easily and frequently. The roof is also quite low so tall passengers have to bend their neck and back when standing. However, those are not the only buses that run the streets of Rangoon. The government has imported larger, newer (comparatively)second hand buses from Japan and Korea in recent years. They are far more larger than the older buses and more comfortable, but most of them are already quite worn out and break down as often. Photo: Alain Badoual One thing you might notice in Yangon public buses is that they are overcrowded most of the time. Passengers were packed into buses like herds of animals. But pe...
