The contest was open to photographs in five categories – monochrome, colour pictorial, portraiture, nature study and computer enhanced – with each participant allowed to submit up to four photos in each category.

 
We also passed another site of interest to war buffs: a cave high up on a cliff where Japanese troops fleeing to Thailand hid from Allied aircraft at the end of World War II. According to local lore, at the back of the cave is a pit where the Japanese dumped their weapons, then placed booby traps to keep the equipment out of enemy hands. As far as anyone knows, the stash is still there.
 
“Fees for non-immigrant visa and transit visa are not exempted during this period. Furthermore, nationals who are entitled to join the Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme and nationals whose country has concluded a bilateral agreement with Thailand on visa exemption, are still able to enter without a visa,”
“The subjects to be studied are laid down by ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organisation. It really is hard work. We’re sure these three women can perform at the same level as the male students,”
 
Women who are most at risk for cervical cancer are those who have many sexual partners, who have intercourse at an early age, whose male partners have many sexual partners, and who smoke, she said.
 
“And my government plans to ensure that Thailand remains a peaceful, stable and hospitable country to visit, with investment and business flowing again and tourism driven forward. It is a top priority for the government that Thailand should remain a friendly and welcoming country, where the safety, security and well being of international visitors are paramount – be they leisure travellers or investors coming to do business in Thailand,”
 
“The Tengchong-Kan Pai Tae-Myitkyina link would help to develop tourism, trade and cultural diversity between two countries. The road has brought an increase in accessibility and is shorter than the Tengchong-Laizar-Myitkyina route,”
 

“I want to make sure she stays away from naughty boys who might propose to her and jeopardise her top 10 position in her class at school,” he said. “I am also acting as her coach, helping her with her weaker subjects so she can do her best in the exam.”

 
“Among the 21 factories operating, only a few are likely to meet the EU requirements and some of these don’t even export to the EU. However, assuming they pass the inspections, only those factories will be able to export to the EU,”
“Watermelon prices have decreased by more than 25 percent; a truck loaded with 26 tonnes of watermelons is now only fetching RMB60,000 (Chinese yuan; about RMB2308 a tonne or US$338), compared to more than RMB80,000 during Chinese New Year in late January,”
“All my colleagues said I was lucky to win another DVD player, but I only came to the sale because I’d heard there were going to be some really large discounts,”

“We’ve been able to continue because we’ve still got orders from Germany, Japan, South Afric and Taiwan that will see us through until August this year. We’ve also been a little lucky because other factories that have already closed down have forwarded any orders they’ve received to us,”
 
“Foreign magicians are very extravagant and spend a lot on magic equipment in their performances, but we can’t. For example, David Copperfield could make a train disappear from view and he used a real train to do it,”
 
“When we first opened in 2003, there were hardly any Western-style restaurants in Yangon. We thought it was important to make a happy, relaxed environment where people can have some food and a few beers with friends,”
“We all welcome the Myanmar National League because this is a good chance for players to get some kind of guarantee for our future. I think all the players will try their best to improve their skills, both physically and mentally,”
