Using myanmar language on internet is good or not

Using Myanmar language on internet is good or not

Pros

1. Using own language will result in better communication, less misunderstanding, more chance to make friendship among Myanmar fellows. Of course, more online fighting and more online love affairs and adulteries.

2. Other people have less access to Myanmar community. For instance, Bangladeshis will find it difficult to learn what scores of Myanmar are preparing to tackle with Bengali invasion in  Burma's west border.

3. More Burmese authors and poets coming out. Yes. you don't need too much funding to publish your own thought in this era when the internet access and social media are easily available.  Of course, when you write an article or essay, you need to include reference. One famous Burmese author is the worst example as she wrote in very nice and beautiful way. But she failed to mention the source, which is disgusting.

Cons

1. Less people using international language such as English. The less foreign language is used, the less competent they are. This would make other people Burmese as aliens or idiots when Burmese language minded people speak in English.

2. Myanmar language is likely to be ruined as many youngsters are using a lot of new-Burmese words. Many people are less care about spelling.

Hectac Mondays

When recovered people are getting well, they want to go home in a minute. Of course. Everybody wants to go home. We try, but need to see other staying-in patients. Then we need to queue computer to make letter. After letter, prescriptions need to queue in pharmacy for transforming to medications. Packs need to queue for porter to get collected. When green bags arrive back to ward, those keen to go home still need to wait for transport ambulance. Ambulance inevitably see traffic jams on its way. What a long civilized process?

By the way, this us my uncle and me

Why Yahoo still exists

 I am wondering why Yahoo is still breathing quietly while its friends, ie.  ever growing Google, static Apple and struggling Microsoft are occupying service. I think this is the time for YAHOO for blue sale as no future.

Welcome to Myanmar President U Thein Sein

I must say U Thein Sein is the first ever productive president in Burmese history. He is a sensational, adaptable and knowledgeable ex-army politician, leading  a revolution in a smooth way to upgrade  his citizens to achieve a higher level of social and economic status.

Natural history museum

I feel late winter is good to go out. My weekly  pay as you go Oyster makes me free to go anyway in Zone 1 to 3.   Today' destination was the  natural history museum located near knight bridge in west end.  In fact the nearest tube station is south Kensington on Piccadilly line.  

 Weekend. Not surprisingly with hundreds of visitors ( both locals and tourists ) queuing to enter

Two groups of travellers in the morning rush hour

Using tube every day. 34 pounds per week.. Two change. 55 min to arrive. I notice two kinds of people travelling on London underground. the first group is jeans and jumpers. They use the tube around 6-7.  another group is 8 -9. They are in luxury jackets and shining shoes. 

being in Angus Steak House

British summer is always nice to go out, i mean, if no rain. I just took a great opportunity, while London hosting 2012 Olympic, to look around, checking the international sport fans in major sport event areas of British capital with curiosity. Yes colourful people were everywhere holding their identities. Absolutely brilliant atmosphere.

After walking along the Regent street, i felt hungry. I popped into leicester square where i used to buy KFC for several times in past. This time i was thinking to try something different as i no longer fancy deep fried chicken. I saw Angus steak house at the corner. I usually avoided that restaurant previously with the thought that it would be for beef eater as i never eat that meat since child for unknow reason. When I checked menu, I found out a variety of foods are available, chickens, lamb, fish, pork and so on.

It was easily noticeable that the most waitresses were eastern European origin. I ordered lamb cultet. Ribs and salad were for my friend. Of course we agreed to share a bottle of read wine, French marlot.

This point, a small annoying thing was that the young well dressed waitress had no idea how to serve wine. A few wine splashed onto table. I demostrated her how to pour it nicely by turned around the bottle at the final drop. She appreciated saying '  I see'. Wondering this shop manager never gave his staffs a proper catering  training.

About 25 minutes later,  foods arrived. All looked nice with aromatic smell. Nice taste. But I felt lamb portion was small for price of £17.50. I tasted some ribs. It was beautifully tender and salt content was optimum.   But a bit sweet to me.

At the end of our dining, I asked bill which showed £57 with "service not included " . I understood the meaning. I put £5 note together with my bank card in a small bill holder. She brought a wireless chip and pin device and I entered pin. Transaction went through quickly. She said thank you and asked "what  is it for? "  by pointing at £5 note. I replied it is just for you sweetheart.  She said again " thank you". What's on earth this poor waitress was dull enough not to know a tip. It happened in central London.

In general, foods are ok. But not so special. Those kinds of foods are easily available in most UK pub with cheaper price. I would score 6.5/10
