It was my early days in England. Her name was Rebecca. She was a nurse. A single mum with 2 kids, struggling her tough life. She took off-sick frequently. I overheard nursing stuffs talking about her " Becky's late again" "Becky doesn't not turn up again". I must admit, at first I confused if Becky was her nick name. How funny I am. Of course, Becky is short name of Rebecca, like some other names, such as Bob for Robert, Bill for William, Debbie for Deborah, Toni or Vicky for Victoria , Andy for Andrew and so on.

I think these are not really English language from Cambridge grammar or Oxford dictionary. I might a bit exaggerate if I say that being familiar with host country's tradition and culture is essential for someone from east working and living in English speaking society. But, at least such kind of knowledge will help your well-being in new society, making friendship with other people in harmony in a short time like Mae. Appreciate that.

In west London, I am really glad to see loads of Burmese speaking people. They are well organized. They shared in 2 or 3 bed houses. They have been clever enough how to sort out to remain in the UK legally. They are able to make extensive friendship within the Burmese community as if west London were part of Burma. It is really nice. According to my contacts living there, it is a well known fact that guys usually compete bitterly each other to win a relationship once a girl arrived from Yangon . I think it is multi factorial. One of the reasons would be patriotic, I suspect. :)

It can be said that friendship and relationship are linking each other at some point, but different in terms of nature of personal involvement. Chronologically, relationship is usually preceded by friendship in many models. Some start relationship in first instance. Some may take up to a decade. Well it is a complicated sociology topic what I never understand completely. But one interesting thing I came across on the Face book is some one from Myanmar has been advertising that she is in an open relationship. Oh Jesus! Burmese people have been in such a great time.

I know the meaning of open relationship before. Anyway I checked on the net.

An open relationship denotes a relationship (often between two people) in which the participants are free to have sexual intercourse with other partners. If the couple making this agreement are married, it is an open marriage.(Wiki)

a facebook setting that allows you to give in to your sluttastic urges while keeping a "saftey net" around in the event that you're unable to hook up with anything hotter. (Urban dictionary definition 3)

I really confuse what is going on among Burmese facebookers. Recently, a chap has been declaring himself that he is interested in both men and women . I think I am not stupid enough to announce on the world class social network if I were really interested in guys :)
