Back in Yangon

It was so much fun walking with Xenne at the airport in Bangkok. We had a bit of time we just strolled around a bit. But it was so much fun. Every stewardess, hostess and woman in a shop and an enormous amount of female travellers all looked at Xenne, reacted to him and even tried to play with him (which of course he didn't find a problem). I know he is cute but i never reaslised he was THAT cute. And i'm not joking. We walked around for the better part of an hour and almost every woman (and a fair few men) reacted to him. And even at the hospital where the nurses see babies all the time he got more attention than average.. OF course i'm used to that here in Burma sicne he is an oddity here (there are very few mixed babies here) but in Thailand...

I haven't figured out our new electricity schedule yet. It seems different from how it was before we left... But since we're back only a day and a half it is difficult to say how different.. I'm slightly optimistic that we have more power that the 8 to 10 hours we had before. Strangely our electricity bill was higher this time which in my pinion isn't possible since we had only a 3rd of the power we had the month before... So i have no idea what they are playing at. It was funny because when we were in Bangkok i didn't really think about the electricity (or the constant supply of it) until i heard the fridge one time. You know, when it makes that extra noise kindof like a restart. And i thought... ' ah, the power is back on'. Then realising that we had power all the time. But for me that sound is related to the power supply...

We're thinking of going for a short trip to Moulemein/Pha-an. Probably in a couple of days. It'll be fun since it is a place both Kyaw Kyaw and i haven't been to yet. We'll have to check bus- and train-schedules. Figure out what is easiest with Xenne and of course affordable ( a taxi would be most comfortable and easy since it is only about 5 hours but here the affordable part plays havoc). I'll keep you posted. For now i'll try to upload this. As usual not the easiest part since i keep being kicked off the srver that allows me to access Blogger.
