Another smart business. Because whenever I'm trying on transluscent panties, I get HONGRY for chicken buns.

Or actually, the police bathroom, which I only noticed from the street one day when for some reason all the police were gone for 4 minutes.

Morning Glory teaches foreigners Burmese, incorporating a great deal of religious digression. She considers Bobo one of her spiritual sons, of which she claims to have 37 or so.


On the border | Mae Sot, Thailand

The official crossing to Myanmar was closed around the time I arrived, and still has not re-opened. The main illegal crossing-by-innertube happens right next to the official crossing, which is weird, and of course that was also shut down.

This man used the boat stand instead, which is more expensive, semi-hidden and always running. His home had been wiped out by Cyclone Nargis so he'd moved to Myawaddy in hopes of finding paid work. Instead he tutors children in exchange for housing, but occasionally finds a foreigner willing to pay him as a guide.

Smart business move. I can't tell you how many times I've wondered why cigarettes and vibrators aren't sold on the same shelf.
