Thet Naing — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:04:32 +0000

On the way at one station near Shwebo, one man climbed up through the window beside my friend. My friend pushed him back, telling not to climb. He kept on climbing, pushing my friend back.

Thet Naing — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 11:38:25 +0000

For you Grandpa, you always traveled by plane, or by luxury cars, so you would not know about these. That is why I was thinking of you all the time.

Mandalay – Myitkyina Train Trip – 2

Thet Naing — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 11:30:59 +0000

The ticket that the station manager said “Gone” is still available from the black market! Isn’t it surprising? However, you had to pay two times the actual price. I was really angry. Well, what could I do? Too bad for us, as we, grandchildren of Grandpa, got only ordinary class tickets. I used to travel this train trip in the… Read [...]
