yea...I went there basically to visit my friends and also take a look of what Myanmar is really look like. Beyond my expectation, this place is really interesting. beside what I've mentioned in the last post....people here are having such a deep sense of hunger for the truth. Though it's still very hard to convert someone to Christian faith without facing the objection from their family member. But God's presence is really here. I heard many stories of CPM here. It's so cool...of coz' it's not easy doing CP here but God's grace is indeed sufficient for the workers here. I wish I could be part of such an experience. Well...will see..
Got to go to Shwedagon Pagoda, the main pagoda in town...it's really big and covered with real pure GOLD!!! I was told on top of the pagoda actually contain lots of diamonds. Really beautiful...but what for??? I asked.... u know what I mean...
We did some painting at our English centre there....having fun haha. Catch the train ride around the city was also quite an experience....(have some interesting story in there) and of course, shopping!!! at Bogyoke market. Lots of jewelry and it's dirt cheap!! genuine stones okie..cuz' it's everywhere here in Myanmar, though the cutting is not very good craftsmanship as in Thailand but for the cheap price, it's worth buying still.
Over all this trip was an eye-opening for me to see the needs of this land....and simply His heart for this nation. I wish I could stay longer but got to come back here to S'pore for now =(
well...here is myself wearing Longi waiting for the train haha....See ya next time Myanmar!!!
