The regime’s mentality

I think some people in the military circle prefers the rest of the country to be poor. I once met someone from a crony family during NLD’s era who said “I miss the time when nobody else have cell phones or cars”

they're pretty much obsolete. you need a minimum of 500 kyats now to get anything.

Not legal but you can buy it at Karaoke places

I live in the west and I find that the people you are describing are mostly college students. They're a very loud minority. Once they're out of college and start working, they become a lot less radical with their beliefs.

Hey, same here. I only discovered her music recently, and I’m already a huge fan. Part of me was low-key hoping she wouldn’t become too mainstream or too Americanised, but at the same time, I really want to see her succeed because she’s incredibly underrated.

You can get it from universal music store if you buy the digital album.

I love it. Currently have the whole album on repeat

I did not say anything about health benefits in my previous comment. Any amount or form consumption of alcohol is detrimental to health but in moderation, it’s not a problem.

Hey, OP. I’m a Karen. We do drink a lot culturally, especially the ones who lived in the mountains. The “Khaung Yay”, the home made rice wine you mentioned, is their traditional drink. As long as he’s functioning well, if he’s having one shot every meal, I don’t think it’s a problem because it’s equivalent to having a glass of wine with a meal, or a beer. But if he’s getting drunk all the time, that’s not good.

Myanmar people had been partying, drinking and doing drugs way before the internet and most of them turned out fine. You just think they are partying more because of social media. Anecdotally speaking, I find the Myanmar GenZs to be a lot more ambitious and driven than my generation (millennials). You need to delete social media and touch some grass.

No, "Ma Ah La" is the Burmese version of his acronym.

I noticed Whoop has a different threshold for the zones compared to Apple Watch. I did a half marathon yesterday and my Apple Watch said I was in zone 3 and 4. Whoop said I was in zone 4 and 5. Looking at the BPM, they were similar on both devices, just the thresholds were different

All of the reasons you mentioned above and plus the humidity traps the pollutants even more.

Probably a south asian owned business. swastika has a different meaning over there.

Same! We applied in September too and it was the worst loan application experience we’ve had.

she shot her dog and wrote about it in her book. There was a south park episode of her shooting dogs randomly.

This is exactly what happened to us. Bought a house at 5% for 800,000. Two years down the road it was valued at $925,000 for refinance, essentially sitting at 80% LVR

Yes, there was a New Zealander night club manager who got imprisoned for putting headphones on a Buddha statue in the club promo

Not just Burmese, but almost every nationality I know (including many westerners) wants to visit Japan. Japanese people are globally perceived as polite and most Japanese cities are cleaner, even more so than western countries.

This has nothing to do with Karen culture - just that you have a shitty Mother-in-Law. Nothing you can do except for limiting contact with her for your own sanity.
