I wasn't quite happy with Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications (MPT). I got the bill for February and it cost me U.S $ 260 for 1732 minutes. That means 15 cents a minute. I don't think I am going to survive here long with these expenses and my modest income. And I can't do much without communications. There are a lot of limits on what I can do without any good communication system with my friends around the world. The proof is that despite all the foreign graduates we have here, we see little progress in our education system and society because they neither have any authority on issues such as contributing back to the society nor have enough resources to communicate with the outside world. Those who have resources are taking advantage of those who don't have. Information is everything and those who have access to it are abusing it and taking advantage of other people.
I moved in to the Jubilee Hall at Myanmar Institute of Theology (MIT) yesterday with Neil and Diana, my host parents from America. They are going to be here for about 4 months. Neil will be teaching business classes at MIT to BARS (Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies) students. Diana will be helping with English classes at Dr. Chit Maung library. I feel like I am in America with them being here. It was a bit exciting.

Nice cars and beautiful apartments which I can't afford to buy :-)
