Ek leer gou groet in Burma. Dis 'n komplekse proses. Ek sê "Ming Ga La Bah" - blitsvinnig. Dan sit ek my hande op my maag en buig, terwyl ek glimlag EN, gelukkig en tevrede met my omstandighede lyk. Als werk redelik, tot ek 'n Longyi rompie koop en in hom probeer loop. Ek val die hele tyd oor my voete. Almal in Burma dra hierdie rompies, mans en vrouens en kinders. Net ekke sukkel want ek moet mooi klein treetjies gee -- met grasie, en ek wil net rondhol omdat ek ALLES gou-gou wil sien. So val ek die hele tyd oor my voete en ook oor my woorde "Ming Ga La Bah". Toe ek in 'n tempel instap, kyk die vrou by die deur na my aaklige vuil Reebok plakkies. Ek trek hulle uit. My voete is vol modder. Ek stotter toe maar ..."Ming Ga La Bah" ... en smile.
