Couple of (not particularly good) photos

Me holding a LOT of money. I think it was about $11,000 in 1,000 kyat notes… so that = 11,000 notes. I happened upon it when finance were paying a supplier at work. It is still very very much a cash economy here, and bank payments are rare. After my photoshoot the suppliers toddled off with the money in bin bags. This place is sooooo safe that wandering the streets with $20,000 in bin bags is no problem (there was a lot more money than I was holding – it was too heavy to carry!).

Fixing the aircon unit Myanmar style. We live on the 7th floor. The man is standing on a sloped metal balcony shade, which may (or more likely may not) be attached properly to the building. Slipping off it would mean certain death. Fortunately this didn’t happen and all is well!
