If you ever have time to kill read up on Ne Win the former dictator of Burma who bathed in dolphin blood, established a base 9 currency and shot reflection of himself in mirrors to prevent assassination's. That and so much more.

I've put in about three hours of Myanmar reading and have a shit ton of tabs open in other interesting diversions about the country and it's people.

It's a fucking whackadoodle country.

Pretty crazy stuff. Don’t elect anyone that uses a soothsayer.
