Myanmar Travel Stories. Visit to a Karen farmland.
Dec 11, 2015
After lunch, a 30-minute drive to a Karen farmland. Deep inside. The car could not move further at a bridge and so we had to take motor-bikes.
1. Toll, 1000 kyats. Silver collection bowl. Receipt given. Saw a big fat black sow tethered.
2. Motorbike escorts.
3. 3 road blocks. Lifted them up and proceeded.
4. Suddenly a pretty church building appeared. I could not see any pagodas in the farmland area. Majority of religious buildings in Myanmar are pagodas and temples.
5. Motorbike used as 3rd road block ended at a very narrow bridge.
6. Red farm house on stilts.
7. Nervous 2-year-old bullock saw me. He could be a pet. Bullock cart under the red house.
8. Few geese, hens and chicks, ducks, hay and rice grains being dried. No black pig. Banana trees, melon fruits and betel leaf type plant on sticks grown separately.
9.Stray dogs.
10. Visited new govt school. Took some pics of group of school administrators and villagers.

2381. Myanmar Travel Stories. Yangon downtown & images
Dec 9, 2015
Spent time downtown. Met a young man to talk about racehorse club in Myanmar. Walked to Bogyoke Aung San Market to look for cat paintings. Only one of a cat in the back pocket of jeans at 18"X24" being sold. Leopard painting, 4 ft x 3 ft, in oil at US$95. Bought a slice of melon at 500 kyats from a lady roadside vendor - dust from cars and flies but the locals do not mind. Vendor had not covered up the melons. A downtown doctor's signboard advertising Vit C drink is packed with patients. A market stall sells lots of dog and cat food (video).
Did a rehearsed real case of how to diagnose a dog disease with Dr Min in the Myanmarese language. The 11-month-old Labrador X was not eating for the past 3 days as the main complaint (video) for lecture to Yezin University Vet students later. I could feel firm 10-mm uterine swelling but there was no abdominal pain. No vaginal discharge. The dog had heat 2 months ago and the vulval area was swollen and had rough brown peri-vulval skin. "Has your dog been licking her private parts for the past 2 weeks," I asked the owner. She said: "Yes."
Then Dr Min was videoed to provide the online case study. There was pus seen. So, the diagnosis was open pyometra.
