Sadness fall

It was sad news that over 22000 deads and hundred thousands Burmese were left in desperation from the trail of the cyclone Nargis that had hit Myanmar's Yangon and it's delta region. And that the rice producing region were also heavily laden with salty rain water made the recovery more difficult. Imagine half of the myanmar population relied on these supplies and their lives are going to get very tough. Asian countries are already feeling hard hit by the exorbitant price of rice, commodities are also more expensive, one wonder how it's gonna work out.

I still remember someone said this: " It is not difficult for a poor man to adapt to poverty"
I think this is going to be true to many burmese after all they had gone through for the last 50 years. I think and sincerely hoped that life will be better for them soon since the worst had arrived.

I still remember those days when I was in Yangon waiting with my wife-to-be for her passport to be ready. When we were free, we will visit the Shewdagon temple which was a walking distance from the hotel we had put up in. It was a magnificent building and that you had to take more that 100 flights of steps to reach the temple compound itself. It was the cleanest place you find in Yangon. Most of the streets in Yangon are mostly flooded when it rains. I can imagine how it looks like now.

So much had happened in Myanmar in these couple of years, I really hoped that the Burmese can recover from all these disastrous events and move on to fulfil their dreams of a democratic country.
