Back to Burma - unpublished & unfinished report
“Hey! You faaat!”
In
the early morning light, the small man at the Hlaing Thar Yar Bus Terminal in
Yangon (Rangoon) looked at me with obvious envy and couldn’t resist treating me
with what is considered a great compliment in Myanmar (Burma). In this country,
few people are fat and those that are, are almost always either the military or
the police. Fat police and a skinny populace is never a good sign.
(Yeah, sure. Okay I'm fat. Thanks
Pal. Now bugger off with your compliments.)
