  • Myo Nyunt We are hungry ghosts, Kyi May.
  • Kyi May Kaung Posted below - scroll down further - Photos and cooking by Cho Kha - thank you. Yes, hungry ghosts - now is about the time of the Chinese ghost festival - thasaygyi shi khoe - see all the rites and superstitions in Lisa See's excellent Peony in Love - I never knew you would be a wandering hungry ghost if you got no closure and this was due to your ancestral tablet being undotted (i.e. without a full stop! -- lovely concept) - and therefore destined to wander hungry forever - All those foodies who check this page should read See's book. It is Amazing how she combines Chinese cultural history with the voice of the poor ghost -
  • Kyi May Kaung What I like about FB is 1. very democratic 2. your discussions give me many fiction ideas for writing.
