Sometimes its useful to wander around a new environment and observe. Namsai and I get on a local bus today. It is hot and crowded.
We don’t know where it is going but this does not matter too much as everything is new. We pass many interesting places; the shipbuilders yard where large ships are being constructed: a water hospital; a very large modern bridge to span the substantial Yangon river; the Asian General Electricity company…. Actually severeal hours later it seems that we are no longer in Yangon and we agree that now would be a good time to get off the bus.
By chance we have followed a river that has had a great deal of stagnation, pollution and sewage. People’s homes have backed onto it and once several laughing boys were jumping in and swimming.
