I went to Chatuchak weekend market a while ago. I found a shop where they sell items from Burma.
There was an 80-year old Karen dress (the red one in the picture). The price was 5,000 Bahts (1 U.S. dollar = 35 Bahts)
I have been accepted by the Indiana University in Bloomington at their linguistics department. I will be focusing on computational linguistics.
Hopefully, I will get a visa to the U.S. and will be able to go there in August.
Last Sunday, I went to Evangelical Church of Bangkok to listen to Ravi Zacharias, the author of "The Lotus and the Cross: Jesus Talks with Buddha" and many other books.
These kids are great!
The picture is the receipt for six of us from ရွှေကောင်း (Shwe Kaung) hot pot restaurant. You can see a glimpse of what it is like to eat out at a high-end restaurant in Yangon. Note that the exchange rate is about 1,000 Kyats to a dollar.
From "Thai Bloggers Face Jail Without Bail for Discussing Monarchy":
"In the past, people fled to the jungle to share their political beliefs," Suwicha said, referring to a Communist insurgency in the 1970s that was suppressed by the [Thai] government. "Now we have Web sites. If they want to stop it, they must stop the technology itself."

There are also other pictures which I took in Burma a few years ago.

Old Issues
I just upgraded my hosting platform to Movable Type software. I apologize if you receive some old posts in your feed reader because of the upgrade.
I think this new platform will make my life a lot easier to manage posts. I will be able to focus more on content than fixing technical issues.
I am still missing some old posts from 1998 to 2003. And I also lost tagging information in the conversion process. The categories are wrong and some photo links are broken, too.
I will fix those later. Please bear with me for the moment. :)
By the way, I no longer have RSS feed. The atom feed is here.

I was having some hosting problems the last few weeks. Now it has all been worked out. I will post some entries later. See you soon.
