The Rosebush

But I am safe and well.  I’m still in Yangon, which is a total diaster area, but I’m okay (and grateful for all the worried messages!).

Waiting to see what will happen next…

Yangon is not a fun place to be, and I think it’s going to get a lot worse over the next few days.  People are queueing up for HOURS on end (like 8 hours at a time) to try to get fuel, and are then limited to just a few gallons at a time.  Supermarkets are running out of food and drinking water, and it could start to get ugly in terms of civil unrest as people start to panic. 

Fortunately for me, i’m a foreigner and will (I hope!) be taken care of by my employer and my embassy, but it is a tragedy that the vast majority of Burmese people can’t say the same thing.  I’m definitely one of the lucky ones.

Anyway, once I can update again and maybe even get some pictures up, I’ll do so.

Ciao for now and thank you again for caring xxx
