Day-to-day life in Myanmar
A few non-orphanage photos from my trip: This is a large monastery and also apparently a famous eye hospital in Myanmar. An interesting Buddhist site, not sure of the name! This is a small temple in Inle Lake A local fisherman doing the 'standing-on-one-leg' pose at Inle Lake. (This isn't done for tourists - the fishermen use one leg to control the vertical oar as they use both hands with their nets). Nice sunset over the lake. No foreign tourists here, but quite a few Burmese day-trippers from Taunggyi. -

Deterioration of Dining Quality and Experience
If we take the benchmark as pre-p(l)andemic, it has been a lack of customer service coupled with mediocre food quality at many places. That said, if I grab a table at Drunken Sailors on Koh Lanta, the iced coffee and the food will be the same great quality as I remember from 2014. -

How to do the online training and renew your driver’s licence in Thailand
All great in theory, but ... I tried this in October when I had to renew my license; but the video stopped after about 10 minutes, a test question appeared (which I correctly answered), the video went back to the start, and after 10 minutes same question!!! So, I tried using Edge and Chrome, same problem. Even tried on my old back-up computer. Same result. Maybe a DLT problem? So tried again next day; same problem. Some friends have had similar problems; other completed the test ok online. -

Started walking for exercise, but.....
I'm 76 and never had any knee problems, the few falang that I have met always start talking about knee problems, it's like a pandemic. Up to my retirement I used to walk a lot, maybe that's what has kept my knees in good order. What I do get is pain in the calf muscles sometimes but continuing to walk makes that go away. -

Pattaya Mobilises 420 Officers to Safeguard Festive Tourists
"We are fully prepared to ensure everyone’s safety during the Christmas and new year celebrations." What about the rest of the year? The only cops I ever see--and spouse and I are out and about a lot--are the 2 cops by Central Festival Mall. Where are all these 420 officers? Not on the streets, that's for sure.
