About 5000 people dressed as Santa Claus take part in a race in Hamburg, Germany, on December 16. The event was aimed at breaking a record held by the British city of Liverpool, where 3299 runners dressed as Santa took part in a similar race in 2005.

Mr Zhuang said the company began preparations to export sand in August last year. He said the company choose Mawlamyine instead of several destinations in Ayeyarwady Division because it was cheaper.

 
“Before we opened our Yangon embassy, pilgrims from Myanmar had to apply for Saudi visas in Bangkok or Dhaka, so now the process is much less complicated,”
 
“While Myanmar has its University of Foreign Language, we have our Pusan Foreign Language University, where many South Koreans are studying the Myanmar language. It is a good sign for relations that people in both countries are interested in the other country’s language,”
 
“At this time of year the hotel is usually filled with local guests who are staying here to attend festivals. During rainy season we usually have gold and rubber traders,”

The statement said that in 2005 KOICA sent a team of volunteers to help the department repair existing lab equipment and electronic devices, and to train department personnel.

 
“Sometimes vehicle owners don’t want to go through the trouble of applying for the licences themselves so they hire agents to do it. This is a mistake because the agents sometimes get fake licences instead of real ones,”
 
“While Myanmar has its University of Foreign Language, we have our Pusan Foreign Language University, where many South Koreans are studying the Myanmar language. It is a good sign for relations that people in both countries are interested in the other country’s language,”
 
“The five-day training will provide general health knowledge about subjects such as first aid and personal hygiene for nearly 30 people to help them teach these subjects at schools,”
 
The Bagan and Inle Lake locations have a two-night/three-day Sweet December package available until December 31, which includes roundtrip airfares, daily breakfast and accommodation in a twin-share room and one dinner for two; the price is US$135 a person for foreigners and K135,000 a person for locals.
 

“The other floors will be for the Gamone Pwint Shopping Centre and the Plaza. Our own department store will occupy the fourth and fifth floors and we’ll rent out the shop units for the plaza on the third floor from the middle of this month”

 

“Based on our study, the estates in Myanmar are projected to be self-financing in their fifth or sixth year of operation, thus enabling the group to easily finance the planting of additional new acreage,”

 

“The project is now 60pc complete,” said U Win Soe, a Mawlamyine resident, adding that those who relocated can buy cement and wood at a discounted government-set price.

 

“That’s why I don’t hesitate to mix, for example, a guitar and traditional drum ensembles,” said Diramore, who graduated from the University of Culture in 1997 with a BA (Music) and in 2006 was awarded a masters degree by the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music.

 
The ranking was the same as the previous edition two year’s ago in the Philippines, but rather than our track and field stars racing to podium, Myanmar this time performed best on the water (see page 34) with two gold coming from kayaking, two from canoeing and another three gold from traditional boat racing.
