“We understand that we are unable to fully teach all of those four languages to the children while they are here. We aim to familiarise them with those sounds so they will be more easily able to recognise them later,”
 
At the ceremony Indonesia’s ambassador to Myanmar, Mr Sebastianus Sumarsono, handed the donation over to U Kyaw Thu, the chairman of the Civil Service Selection and Training Board and the TCG.
 
The department also announced that two low-pressure areas will form during September, of which one will intensify into a small storm. This could extend monsoon-like conditions into October.
 
“During one of the 1942 engagements, General Bond destroyed three Japanese I-97 planes while piloting his P-40B. He was credited with nine kills in all.”
“The department’s Design Selection Committee will choose the best designs and send them to Korea Post with a recommendation from the Ministry of Communications, Post and Telegraph,”
 
“We will post warnings along the canal if necessary, but we will not close the canal, because it is a major route for the transportation of commodities. But we are advising that ships and boats navigate carefully during the canal expansion,”
 
“In July we went on a survey trip to Kayin State and discussed with the authorities about water and sanitation, the environmental conservation process, repairing embankments, reforestation and establishing community forestry programs,”
 
“The international community, the UN and government need to continue to work together to ensure regular, good quality and comparable information is freely available to make decisions about how best to support the people of this country,”
 
“The price of sap from the lacquer tree for wood varnishing is down by K50,000 for 10 viss (one viss equals 1.6 kilograms or 3.6 pounds) since last year as there is less demand for it. So we do face difficult conditions, and some small industries have had to shut down during these tough years,”
 
The August 30 announcement, issued the day after fighting ended, invited former fighters loyal to rebel leader U Phon Kya Shin to “enter the legal fold in safety” by contacting the Kokang Region Provisional Committee established in Laukkai.
 
“Using the normal land transport route to export a 60-viss (1 viss is equal to 1.6 kilograms or 3.6 pounds) or 96-kilogram box of fish costs about K50,000 but we think the free on board shipping route shaves about K10,000 off that price,”
 
“The main reason for the price rise this year is the lack of raw sugar in the local market. Last year, because of the financial crisis, the usual cultivators shifted to crops that provide a monthly income. This led to a lack of raw sugar, and drove the price up,”
 
“Those two or three years were the worst we have seen for labour shortages. Our company alone lost 50 engineers and architects during that time because they moved abroad, where there were good employment opportunities and higher salaries. These skilled workers could get up to S$4000 a month working in Singapore,”
 

As mentioned, there’s only a small cooking area inside but a larger kitchen is located outside the main building – this could certainly be handy for when someone decides to fry up some nga pi or prawn paste.
 
“My work is highly dangerous. I’ve known many toddy palm climbers who have died falling from trees in nearby villages. Some slipped off the ladder when it was slick with palm juice dropped from the fruit, mixed with sand from the climber’s feet,”
 
CELEBRITY fact: Popular actress and model Eaindra Kyaw Zin is also a keen collector of art! Timeout caught up with while she was filming on location to discuss paintings and love, a classic combination.
 
After performing about 20 songs, including slower tracks such as Cancer and Inyalan Ka Pannsai (The Flower Shop on Inya Road) and harder edged songs like AD3000 and Shwe Yone and Shwe Kyar (Rabbit and Tiger) the band announced something you don’t often hear at a punk concert.
 
“We will be participating in taolu events at the World Wushu Championship and we are aiming to gain experience in Toronto rather than medals. We will be able to compare ourselves with some of the top countries, like China, and hopefully learn some things from them,”
 
“The club’s members won’t be asked to support the costs of the football club but rather carry out tasks in Ayeyarwady Division, such as improving the health, education and social facilities. It will also be a forum for delta businessmen to meet,”
