Pause and Rewind - No more blogging for now

I'm in Myanmar and it is tougher to access Blogger than the BBC, Hotmail and Facebook. You can get to most websites from internet cafes (actually the place where I go only sells chicken broth with pickled fish, so it is less of a cafe and stinks) but if there is the word "blog" in the URL then it is blocked by the servers there. And when I come to write a post, it is either so carefully drafted that it is drained of interest and reads like a corporate message (EVERYTHING IS OK!), or is too critical for me to wish to post as I try to set up a life in the country.

I am writing, but I'm not even going to try posting. It feels like going back in time to when I kept a diary.

  1. Nevertheless, the good work and creativity must Not die... no matter wat! The recollections and experiences in the form of writings are personalized way of expressions and is like a gateway to the writer's brain and hormones (emotions) at the same time! Looking forward to enjoy reading more of it. So, keep up the spirit! cheers!

  2. I finally settle down a bit and have some free time to read your stuff and you stop writing? I hope it's not permanent.
    Hope you and Jess are doing great (are you guys married yet?) and Myanmar is treating you well.

    By the way, that video of you and Jess getting soaked was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. “good thing this camera’s waterproof…” classic.
