Guest commentator on "Than Shwe grandson attends car show"

Is this the much vaunted "Burmese Culture"
i.e. "Myanmar Culture" that the junta is trying to maintain.

If so Ha Ha Ha -- Sr. General cannot control his own grandson.

BTW, the Burmese grapevine says that T.Shwe won his wife in an army lotto after she was widowed from her first husband.

Isn't that interesting and shows in what high regard Burmese hold their women.

Disgusting.

This reviewer in Slate likes latest Murakami novel--the walled city--the walled garden.
