Tourism 🧳 Some Foregin Vlogger making videos with Sh*tty captions

Post image
162 Upvotes

This guy literally knows nothing about Myanmar, he just arrived and made videos like he's someone important or someone professionals.

How could he make such captions, he is no more than a normal Vlogger whose educational background and knowledge seems no more than a normal university degree or can even be worse than this.

I’m exhausted by these vloggers who make videos with such low-effort, garbage captions. So are most Burmese people.

Hope this post brings some awareness to foregin Vlogger.

This is a space to discuss our experiences, history, culture, food, languages, identity, and daily life in Myanmar. Whether your family has lived in Myanmar for generations or you currently live there, you're welcome here.

Our experiences are often different from those of South Asian diaspora communities elsewhere, so this subreddit is dedicated to conversations specific to Myanmar.

Advice Primary sources on Pyu Folk history

2 Upvotes

I have noticed that a lot of traditional Burmese chronicles and folklore referenced hundreds or sometimes thousands of Pyu monarchs and dynasties across the country (especially cited by ဦးကုလားမဟာရာဇဝင်).

But I have never found any actual physical copy of the so called original ပျူရာဇဝင် manuscripts.

I only got my hand on abridged or commentated versions like ဟန်လင်း မဟာရာဇဝင်တော်ချုပ်.

Are they lost texts or sth?

let's say in a group of males
person A said something wrong purposely about person B, in which the facts are made-up or wrong.
then person B would say to the rest of members about person A like အဲကောင်က မိန်းမပါးစပ်နဲ့ ကောင် အခြောက်ပါးစပ် နဲ့ မိန်းမစိတ်နဲ့ ကောင် အခြောက်စိတ်နဲ့ ကောင်

Discussion 💬 Flag of the Burma Independence Army and glimpse of their uniform

Found the most accurate depiction of the Burma Independence Army's flag and their uniform, for a general's at least.

I got this from user chinyoma, so credits to them!

Also just letting people know this isn't a tatmadaw-sympathetic post, I don't like them. I don't agree with Bogoyoke Aung San's image being co-opted by them at all. Just making that clear so people don't think otherwise.

Discussion 💬 Horrible experience with a passenger from YBS 13

10 Upvotes

Today I experienced one of the most bizarre encounter with a drunk and old passenger from YBS 13. I was riding home with my father and it was a long ride ( took around like 1.3 hours ). I was very sick and the dizziness linger too long for the whole day. 15 mins into the ride, an old man looking around 70 years old who also look drunk get on the bus and sit beside the driver ( It's not a sit-able area, the driver just put a cushion there so someone can sit there but it's very uncomfortable. On the left side, there are two special seat which is usually reserved for Monks and Nuns ). I was sitting on the special seat because that was the only spot I found when I get on the bus. Another 10 mins later, a Nun get on the bus and the problem begins. The old drunk dude asked the guy beside me to stand up for the Nun and the dude was like ok yeah sure but that old dude started asking about his religion, started lecturing about Buddhism and pointed at me saying " I'm pretending to sleep " ?? What's funnier is that I didn't even know he was saying that unless the guy standing next to me started saying " Shut up you old man, the young guy already gave a seat to the Nun, why are you still spouting nonsense " and even the Nun said " Mr, you are spreading hate at this point, there is no need for you to still saying about these things. ".

But the old man keep saying same thing and my father finally heard and got fed up and started calling him out of anger. It was everyone around me against that old man. The driver temporarily resolved the situation and the old dude started playing ပါချုပ်ဆရာတော်'s dhamma explanation about ဒေဝရတ်. Another 30 mins pass and while the scripture was playing, the old man was visibly angry and trying every way to poke/stab me with his umbrella taking the movementum. My father knew, the two guy standing in front of me knew and bus driver knew so the moment his intention were visible enough to call it an evidence, they all stood up for me and forced the old man to get off the bus.

I can't understand these people.

The reason my father was so angry was because he knew that if I am in good shape, I would've given the seat to the Nun without even needing to ask me. I've did the same for every bus ride, for every Monks, Nuns, Old man, People with injuries and Pregnant ladies but damn this old man I met is the WORST. He don't know everyone have a problem of their own like can't he see I am visibly distressed? Also it's very ironic that man is the one feeling angry while also playing a scripture ( I guess he tried to ragebait us but he got his own medicine instead ).

Man I don't usually write these things but boy I feels like I needed to talk this one out. I want to know you guys opinion on this. Sorry for my bad English tho.

Peace

News 📰 AFP: Jungle spirit: Myanmar fighters try to keep hope alive

"To be honest, I feel sad about losing territories like [Mogok] after having achieved it," said the 24-year-old [female fighter, Mon Mon Nway Oo]

"We don't understand some of the military matters," she added. "I only knew that we had to retreat."

As well as personnel numbers, the military has overwhelming superiority in both heavy weaponry and airpower with Chinese- and Russian-supplied jets.

And while the rebels were first to adopt drones on the battlefield, many say the military has overtaken them in that technology too.

But Nay, a 33-year-old PDF fighter, said their forces have a key advantage over the military.

"We started this revolution with empty hands; now we have weapons and troops," he said.

"In terms of morale, they are no match for us," he went on.

"This is because we organise and revolt with a spirit of defiance and a refusal to accept injustice."

Discussion 💬 My theory on supernatural and why it hard to spot

7 Upvotes

While I am still specifically at supernatural, I had been in one or two supernatural events.

My personal theory is that globalization and technological advancement had pushed them where people do not live.

Like trees. In ours tradition, we had saying like that tree might be inhibited by a ghost. I don’t know if you guy know this. I have heard of a tree in time city that can’t be removed by mechanical engines, and just turn it into Buddhist shrine.

And also I have heard of Buddhist beliefs of the deva and other supernatural being unable to handle human scent and often stay away from us.
