I was in Myanmar for 73 days before I'm going back last weekend. Wow, that's so longgggg. The verdict? I almost gone bonkers. Work wise, I'm handling something new, commercial and strategy development work hence more stress. My gastric problem getting worse. I had to take constant medication now, preventive of some sort. I couldn't sleep some nights, mostly because of the gastric problem, some due to work related. Doctor prescribed Xanax for me so I could sleep. Now I'm off Xanax while I must keep my gastric problem controllable.This country just love their spicy food. So, heaven for me but not for my stomach. Hence, the worsen gastric condition.
After went back to Malaysia, I feel much sanity in me to remains at this country. I also got my multiple entry visa valid for 6 months, so yeay! I'm coming back to Malaysia for encore sales of BBW during the weekend to meet wife and kid. Miss them so much. Yeah, they're in Dungun but will go to KL for the weekend. Wife especially working hard to get her PhD started so we could spend few years of our life in Yangon. I'm done with packing my stuff in KL and wife with tons of food from east coast, hope to be reunited in Yangon in few months time.
One more thing I love about this country is cheap flowers. A bouquet of dozen rose cost you about USD 3. How crazy cheap is that? Also, fruits are quite tasty except for durian. And orchids, so cheap and beautiful. I'm buying some more orchids this weekend. Picture? Some other time, I'm too lazy to post picture. LOL.
Ok, here some pictures.

Rings...this stone called amethyst. Lots more stone and metal. Precious, semi precious and less precious.

Kyaiktiyo Pagoda (Golden Rock) crowd
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda (Golden Rock). Yes, the rock is hanging by less than A4 paper space at the base rock but it's so stable. and yes, those small head up there is people so you can gauge how big the hanging rock!
Cottons!!
