A Trip to Sit-Tway (Western Burma) (Myauk-U) Part (One)

I had a trip to Sit-Tway a year ago. Sit-Tway, is a district of the Rakhine State in western Burma. We planned to visit a town, called ‘Myauk-U’ - is a township of Myauk-U district in the Rakhine State of Burma. I have never been there before. The place was not secure for the visitors because of the Rakhine State riots. But at that time, the place Myauk-U was calm and safe. ( A beautiful view of Sit-Tway airport from the plane.) We started our trip by plane in the early afternoon for 50 minutes flying. When we arrived at sit-tway airport, a native friend welcomed us, and we all went to Myauk-U by car right away. There would be four-hour driving, and in the late evening, we would reach the place for our four days' visit. (A view from the car. Trees and roughy roads are everywhere.) (A famous Rakhine Food. Soup and salad (spicy or sweet), both are delicious.) Along the trip from Sit-Tway to Myauk-Oo, we stopped at a small shop to eat lunch. Rakhine Food w...

A Trip to Myauk-Oo (Sit-Tway, Western Burma) part (Six)

(The inside images of Mingalarmanaung Pagoda.) (Goodbye dear little sheep! Sweet dream!) After an hour of wandering around the Mingalarmanaung Pagoda, we decided to return. The return-walking never tired us. I could not help looking back the road I trod upon. It looked like a painting that I would like to draw when I be at home. ("When will I see all of You again,") (Country roads are all the same. They give us the smell of sand.) The next visit was to the Shaittaung Pagoda. It is a famous pagoda in Myauk Oo. The name also attracted to the visitor! 'Shaittaung' means '80,000' (eighty thousand). It represented 'Temple of 80,000 Buddha Images.' It was built in 1535-1536 by King Min Bin, for his victory of Bengal. (The gate of Shaittaung Pagoda.) (What a beautiful scene!) (Shaittaung Buddha Image.) (Narrow but we could walk through without worries.) (The passages we never missed to tread.) (Never ending!) (" The big crack because of an earthqua...

The Night She Rest In Peace; Longing for a Burmese Poet – Kyi Aye

(Kyi Aye (13th December 1929 – 2016)) (A photo of Kyi Aye (left), and the sketch of her (right), the artist – unknown) A very rare woman poet in Burma, Kyi Aye, an old friend of my grandparents, once lived together at Aye-Yeik-Tha in the year around 1950. She was at that time, a Rangoon University student attending a bachelor of arts. She later studied at University of Medicine, and became a doctor. My grandma and she were closed friends. Grandma admired her because of her strong ambition in the education, and her beautiful literary works and her own successful household life with 8 children (including a pair of twins.). Grandma and she discussed about literature for a long time until she left Burma (1970?). Kyi Aye had been already writing poems and romance since her high school. Her romantic poems were famous for not only her writings, but also for the artistic feelings themselves. While I was reading her poems in my younger days, I thought Omar Khayyam was reborn as our poet, Kyi ...

A Visit To The Shwedagon Pagoda

(Still crowded, and crowded at the pagoda platform whether it rained heavily or under the bad weather.) People visited to the Shwedagon Pagoda frequently. Paying respect at the foot of the pagoda is one of the ways of Buddhist life. People crowded at the Pagoda platform every time we visited. Practice meditation, offering flowers, candles, incenses or colorful things, or walking on the pagoda platform mostly as keeping the Shwedagon Pagoda at the right side, or praying, etc that Buddhists usually do. (Watering stupa, and mythical symbol, at the birthday corner.) When I was young, I went to the Shwedagon pagoda with my friends the time final examination finished. We prayed, and wished for what we wanted at the foot of the pagoda. Surely we were wishing to pass the examination with distinction, or with credit. (We wish everything we want at the foot of the pagoda.) Today, I was going to ...

(Grandma with old hair style.) 1st May of 1915, her birthday now comes. Grandpa was also born on the same year. So we held their 100th anniversary on 2015, and I wrote a book, ‘A Memory of My Grandparents’ and published successfully in 2015. (Here, successfully did not mean all books sold out. It only meant it comes out 1000 copies on time. By the way, the family was fully satisfied for my book appeared in time.). ('A Memory of My Grandparents' by Junior Win, 2015) (100th Anniversary of grandparents in 2015.) Grandma’s real name was Ma Khin Mya. She was born at Sagaing, Upper Burma. She had 3 brothers, and one sister, and she was the eldest. Grandma never mentioned about her mother whenever she talked about her family. It meant she did not love her mother. It does not mean she also did not love her father. What I know was she only kept the photo of her father in her own album. (Her father in police uniform.) She had grandparents from her father’s side lived in M...

A Visit to Moe-Kaung Pagoda Festival

(From the 21st December to the 31st December 2018, Moe-Kaung Pagoda Festival was held.) Moe-Kaung pagoda at Yankin township, located in the northern part of Rangoon, where the pagoda festival was held in every December. As my grandma (Khin Myo Chit) wrote, ‘Every pagoda has an annual festival.’, this month is a month of Moe-Kaung pagoda festival. The festival stayed for a week, sometimes two weeks, so people could look forward to the days of enjoyment. (The place where the Moe-Kaung pagoda stands today. Seen behind the busy road, and trees.) The locality is a busy road with daily traffic and people around. There was a large estate of Moe-Kaung monastery near the Moe-Kaung Pagoda. Monks and lay devotees always care and do maintenance for the Pagoda. The season festival on every December always takes place in the Moe-Kaung pagoda ground. So, there were trade fairs, and colourful goods from all over the country were seen in the place at the festival. (Dried-fish.) Moe-K...

A Memory of My Grandparents…. (U) Khin Maung Latt and (Daw) Khin Myo Chit

Their Brief Stories (My grandpa with a Traditional Burmese clothes in 1958-59.) (U) Khin Maung Latt (1915 – 1996), my grandfather, was an English teacher, already looked like a teacher. On his face there was something, which reminds one of Sherlock Holmes. If he wore a long coat with a cherrywood pipe in his mouth, he would be a living image of Sherlock Holmes. He never smoked, but he had once a habit of smoking cigar. I knew because I saw him smoking in the photograph. But I was told that he gave up smoking since we were born. He did not wish my twin brother to follow his smoking habit. (My grandpa had a habit of smoking cigar, I knew because I saw him smoking in the photograph.) My grandpa was a tall man in figure with a height of 5 feet 11. His smiling lips showed his kind and sympathy. He loved to teach English grammar, essays, Shakespeare’s Plays and Bernard Shaw’s Short Stories. He had a habit of doing preparation ...
