 “Though
we call it a tame animal show,”
he says, “the snakes never lose
their animal instincts and can still
act in wild ways. So trainers need much
practice and training in taking care
of the snakes.”

“To promote our country’s tourism industry,
at our booth we’re displaying a CD-ROM that gives
information about destinations in Myanmar,” said MAI

Myanmar’s oil and gas fields – both on- and
offshore – have attracted huge amounts of foreign
direct investment as the global demand for energy heats
up.

 “[The
training] is very important for the participants from
Myanmar, who get experience in agriculture from various
aspects. When they go back home, they can implement
what they have learned,” |

 “In
ceramics we use clay as a medium, which is also part
of the earth. The artist can use the material of the
earth and the mountain and shape it according to his
inspiration,” |

 “It
was a very strange scene because the other dolphins
seemed to know the female was coming back. They jumped
around in the water as if they were welcoming her home,” |

 “November

offer several different trips from our resort in Ngwe
Saung beach for both locals and foreigners,” |

government] to expand our operations with our NGO partners
have been positive and I am confident that we will be
able to deliver food assistance in these areas in early
2008 providing we continue to receive donor support,” |

 “Our
team’s performance has been fabulous this season and
we’ve scored more goals than the champion, Customs.
With wins like this we could challenge for the title,” |

 “If
Phyo Min Thar becomes champion this year, it won’t be
astonishing because trains a lot and is young and fit. But
at 34-years-old and a former winner, Khin Maung Win has plenty
of experience – he even won here in 2004. Phyo Min Thar
will need to put in a huge effort to win,” |

THIS photo taken on January 10 shows Buddhist
monks reciting from the Pali-language Tipitaka (Buddhist canon)
during the 60th annual Tipitaka exam held in Maha Pasana Cave
in Yangon. Since December 23, 135 monks have been tested on
their ability to recite any part of five-part prescribed texts
(8027 pages) of the canon, while 119 monks have been sitting
for the written tests of the two-portion exam starting last
Friday. The exam, which takes an examinee at least five years
to complete, has so far produced 11 monks who have passed
both the written and oral portions, and three monks who have
passed only the oral exam. Before the Buddhist canon began
being inscribed on palm leaves about 2100 years ago in Sri
Lanka, memorisation and recitation were the only means of
preserving the canon. Myanmar revived the old practice by
first holding the Tipitaka exam in 1948. In 1953 the late
Venerable Vicittasara from Mingun, near Mandalay, became the
first monk to pass both portions of the exam. Cap:
