Today we leave for Burma. I'm flying to Toronto this evening to meet Joanne and we will take a long and winding road to Bangkok, via Anchorage and Hong Kong for a few days before all the newbie teachers fly together to Rangoon on July 26th. I'm excited but a little apprehensive over how life will be in one of the most repressive countries on earth, especially after reading Emma Larkin's Secret Histories: Finding George Orwell in a Burmese Tea Shop. I just hope that the culture and the sights and the non-Western feel of the place will outweigh any negatives.
Stay tuned!!
