International Thinking at its Best!

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer: Princess Diana's death.

Question: How come?

Answer:

         
           An English princess

           with an Egyptian boyfriend

           crashes in a French tunnel,

           driving a German car

           with a Dutch engine,

           driven by a Belgian who was drunk

           on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling)

           followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,

           on Japanese motorcycles;

           treated by an American doctor,

           using Brazilian medicines.

           This is sent to you by an American,

           using Bill Gates's technology,

           and you're probably reading this on your computer,

           that uses Taiwanese chips,

           and a Korean monitor,

           assembled by Bangladeshi workers

           in a Singapore plant,

           transported by Indian lorry-drivers,

           hijacked by Indonesians,

           unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,

           and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....

           That, my friends, is Globalization.

I have been thinking about lives in Burma and now in Laos. I really had fun the last two years living in Burma after my studies in the States. Some experiences, such as unreliable electricity, were frustrating. Overall, I loved being in Burma. If you have been reading my diary, I bitched a lot about Burma. But it's because I want the country to develop and change for better. There are still a lot of good things even now. Don't get me wrong if you are reading my bitching the last two years :-) I still love my country and the people.

Here is a picture of me and my students from the BARS program at the Myanmar Institute of Theology last year. We went to a church in Rangoon, Burma to talk about our mission trip to villages in Karen state. (Photo courtesy of Elizabeth)

READ THIS BEFORE LOOKING AT THE PICTURE:

An employee got a pen stuck inside the printer. He began trying to remove the pen but was told by his supervisor they didn't have time for that and to just put a note on the printer telling people not to use it & report the problem to the helpdesk. So he grabbed a piece of paper and scrawled a note on it. About 20 minutes later, one of the techs came in laughing & says he was called to service the printer. He saw the note & investigated the problem. Attached is what he found. Sometimes things don't always come out the way you want them to!
