British Council publication, including mention of my father U Kaung's MA thesis and my brother U Thaw Kaung's essay on our (more like his) UK ties--

since other than 3 years as a child and a few days in 2008 as an adult, I have not spent much time there, while I have been 40+ years in the USA.
That's just chance.

not to mention all the Burmese minority groups.
I just don't like the centrist races.
