new direction

Keep staring. I might do a trick.

Three days in BK on a visa run. 

Have you ever seen a visa run?

They are fast.

Escaping predators. Visa eaters are hungry. 

Then, the slow steady ten hour train from Yangon to eastern Mawlamyine in Mon State. Orwell served as a policeman here when he wrote "Shooting an Elephant."

Original rock and roll, up and down, see-saw, rolling rusty stock. Bliss.

Ride the rails.

Delightful flat farmland, harvests, fields, rice paddies shimmer green, white oxen pulling wooden carts loaded with hay, elevations, golden pagodas, rivers. 

A slow gentle rhythm. Choo-choo.
