burma

straight ahead you can see the thailand and burma border.

first i had a coffee. it seems nobody who works at a cafe knows what condensed milk is; you must say carnation. zoe and i have been trying to get a coffee with carnation since our first one towards the beginning of the trip. on the menu after our first espresso we noticed thai coffee and assumed that was coffee with carnation, so we ordered it. when we received the coffee we noticed that it was not it, and tang added: "be careful, may give you heart attack." we looked back up at the server and asked for carnation to be mixed in, and she seemed to understand. she took the coffee, and when we got it back there was definitely coco and a tiny bit of carnation mixed in. close enough. i was about 2 feet off the ground for the rest of the day.

master maxwell lawrence and miss zie woodbury. this part did kind of scare me. at the boarder they took our passports and said we would get them back on our return. we were advised at the thai border to leave before 4 p.m. this was definitely the sketchiest part of our trip so far.

this is on the bridge over the river that separates thailand from burma.

i did not take a whole lot of pictures of burma; the streets were narrow and you were always in someone's face. i did manage to get a few. i tried not to buy anything, but i did end up getting some sunglasses just because i wanted a little money go towards the locals. unfortunately burma is under a dictatorship and the market is heavily regulated by the military.

so far in both thailand and burma i have noticed a disney obsession.

we went back to thailand after only a few hours away and got a cool stamp in our passport.
