Buma Days Pt. 8 Leaving

Today (Monday the sixteenth) we had to get up at 6-6:30 to be ready on-time. Last night I watched Titanic. It started at 9:30. It's a three or four hour movie. Up late, up early. But it wasn't to bad, I don't think. After we left Myanmar, we had a several hour lay-over in Tapei, Taiwan, and mom andI went to a very popular tourist attraction. Here are some pictures:

      

( Because of technical difficulties, we can show no pictures at this time. Have a nice day.)

After that we went back to the airport and (after a room change and a delay) boarded our flight. It took eleven and a half hours. and now we are in Los Angeles. We are about to leave for Boston. so, I have heard it is a good idea to end with a bang, so here goes:
















Wait for it...
























Wait for it...




































  

Bang!

 

(heh heh heh)

Burma Days Pt. 7 Kyaikami

After we got to Moulmien, we stayed in a hotel, and then we went to Kyaikami! ( pronounced  Jackamay) It took an hour and a half to go the thirty miles. It was fast driving , like on the way to Moulmien. While we avoided all of the people, and most of the animals, we did hit a dog. Most animals got out of the way, and we slowed down anyway, this one dog was walking across the street, and it didn't run away when we came barreling towards it, and we didn't slow down (don't ask me why), and we ran into it at probably at least fifty miles per hour. We heard the thump it made when we hit it. we didn't even stop to see if it was all right. I didn't even turn around until I thought it would be out of sight. I didn't see it, and if I did, I didn't notice it. But one of the people in the car, May Oo, saw the dog get up and walk away, so at least it didn't die, that we know of. When we got to Kyaikami, we went to the Ann H. Judson memorial 

 commemerating her life and death. Next to it was the First Baptist Church of Amherst. It was founded by Adoniram Judson, but it has the corner-stone from the original Ann H. Judson memorial church, which is no more. Then we went to the beach, on the shore of the Indian ocean, and had our lunch at a resturaunt there. They had the option for a hamburger, and also for potato crisps (chips), but they said it wasn't what we think of as a hamburger, and they seemingly had no potato crisps. (I didn't understand what they were saying, since they spoke in their language) On the way back we stopped at a really big Bhudda, 

                                                      

and tried to find a memorial pagoda to a Christian missionary. (the missionary was witnessing Christ's love to who-ever came to her for medical care. She was a nurse, and she gave the best medical care in her area, so when the government got thugs to arrest her, everyone in the village, including the Bhuddists, rebelled against her capture, and there was a fight. Eventually she died, and the Bhuddists built a memorial pagoda in her honor)  

A Moosician!!!

Burma Days Pt. 6 Mawlamyine

Today we came to Mawlamyine, a 160-something mile trip. It took about 6 hours. It didn't really feel like it, though. They drive seventy or eighty miles per hour, generally, and if you want to pass the cars in front of you, you just blow your horn drive past them on the other side of the road. You also blow your horn to help avoid pedestrians. The drive on the right side, as in America, but most of there cars are shipped from Japan, and their steering wheel is on the right side, unlike ours, so sometimes when you try to pass a car, you find yourself facing a car coming at you. Dogs and people walking in the road are common, and so are bikes and motorcycles. There are also some carts.

Burma Days Pt. 5 Prison: Secrets revealed

The prison is not a fullscale replica. It is not made of logs, but it does have a real thatch roof. The walls, which were something like plywood, were hand-painted. It was inside a building, with a replica of the stone at the site where the prison was commemorating the site right outside. here are some pictures:

Pretty detailed, huh?

Burma Days Pt. 4 Prison: real or fake? You decide.

There is an exibhition at the seminary compound, and part of that exibition is a prison. The prison is made of wood. What I want you to do is decide for your-self: Is it outside or inside, Logs or plywood, Fullscale replica or detailed model.

Real thatch roof

Watch out for the guards!

Poor prisoners

Well, what do you think?
