A little update

Sandra & Kyaw Kyaw packed their bags this morning (Sandra dumped everything she doesn't need for the next 3 weeks in KK's bag. I do feel a bit sorry for him. His bag must weight tons by now). Kyaw Kyaw is leaving tomorrow on the bus to Bagan. His nephew is having his novice ceremony ( a big thing in Burma) and his younger brother is at the same time being ordained as monk for a week. Now he's contemplating joining them for that week. Sandra thinks it is a good idea. It'll give him time to think things over. And the festivities will hopefully get him in better spirits. He's been a bit down lately. And has a bad cold. So all in all, he can do with a bit of fun (the 2 days of festivities) and tranquility (the week in the monastery)

Sandra on the other hand is thinking about how to fit as many family and friends into a 3 week visit. And when she's not thinking about that, she's wondering whether she should buy sleeping pills for the first time in her life (she's definitely not looking forward to the long flight to France). Me, i'm sure i'll enjoy it. Especially since i have a whole seat for myself. I'm just hoping the flight-attendants will be nice to look at (hey, a skunk has to do something if his travel companion has been knocked out by sleeping-pills).

We (Sandra & me) will be transferring to a hotel in Yangon down-town. It is a place where Sandra & Kyaw Kyaw can't stay together in one room so usually they'll only use this hotel (very conveniently located and very reasonably priced) when they're by themselves. It'll mean that Sandra'll be frequenting her usual internet cafe, so i'm quite confident i can put some more pictures here (with Kyaw Kyaw gone she's bound to spend at least twice as much time in the internet cafe).
