Recent changes in Burmese politics cause delays in my passport application process. The power struggle between the generals reminds me of the days of the Burmese dynasty. It's like killing each other to get the throne. Unfortunately, those who suffer are people like us, the powerless and the poor.
I am hoping to get my passport soon. My consultant job in Laos is impatiently waiting for me.

The joke I heard from one of my friends. He told of his professor who said,
"The current military government doesn't want the disintegration of the country, so they hold on to power to systematically destroy the integrity of it."
The following quote is also proved to be true for the people of Burma. "The more you tighten your grip, the more slips through your fingers."
