Tribute 🤍 A newspaper from 1945 covering American troops fighting the Japanese in Myanmar during WWII. Interestingly, it refers to the country as “Myanmar” (မြန်မာပြည်), not “Burma” (ဗမာပြည်), 44 years before the official English name change in 1989.

Advice I want advice regarding false pedophile/predator allegations against me.

9 Upvotes

I know you guys are not lawyers but I just wanted to know what your opinions might be on this situation. I, 17M have been falsely accused of being a “predator” and a “pedophile” by 15F. She directly messaged me on 23/8/2026 and started a conversation, hitting on me in the process. A friend of mine said that she, the 15F is her friend so I decided to follow her back. But after a few days of talking, she posted a picture of me on her social media account with my face and called me a pedophile. She was the one who reached out to me first and hit on me. I also clearly stated that I am not interested in her or have plans of getting together with her when she hit on me. I have all the evidence regarding this situation. I just don’t wanna make this situation bigger and ruin her life and be known for that for the rest of mine. But her sister and someone else have harassed me regarding this situation in my direct messages and threatened to spread it “publicly”. This morning 28/10/2026 at 10:32 am I saw that she had posted a story accusing me of being a predator. After I got news of it I instantly told her to take it down with proof that she was the one who instigated everything. She did but, this evening some unknown person texted me stuff, sexually harassing me. I do not want to make this into a defamation case but I do want her to stop messing with me. I will not be disclosing any personal information so please do not ask me for that. I know people can be emotional and do stupid things but if you accuse me of being a monster, a predator I will not sit back and just let you do that.

Ps.
You probably want to ask me “Well, why would you talk/keep talking to her in the first place?” Yes, that was my fault. But, she was opening up to me about her mental issues and one of them was anxiety. Since I also have anxiety, I felt bad for her and genuinely only talked to her to be a friend because of that.

Tourism 🧳 Mountaineering in Myanmar

Post image
7 Upvotes

There are alpine habitats in Myanmar,and the great >5000m peaks like Hkakabo Razi,and Ganglam Razi.

But why is mountaineering not popular here?

There were only 2 known ascents,only 1 successful on Mt. Hkakabo. It deserves more popularity like Matterhorn in the alps,etc.

I myself is enthusiastic about mountaineering,I dream of summiting our own nation and SEA's highest peak. But,I can never find the proper equipments in the country. There are no climbing courses,(except for the rock climbing gym in Yangon,and Waterfall hill in mdy as far as I know),no shops selling ice axes or crampons(since there's no ice in the mainland)no easy routes to the base camp, the dream is made more impossible with the current conflicts. The closest I can find on the internet is Hiking expeditions to lesser peaks like Phone kan Razi,Madew Razi,and spoken info from my kachinese friend who has been to the base camp by a heli ride.

How should I start chasing this dream?

Should I just first aim for more accessible peaks in the Himalayas before coming back?

Advice What Research Does Myanmar Need Most?

3 Upvotes

I’m interested in understanding what areas of research Myanmar needs more of, beyond topics directly related to war or political conflict.

For example, research on economic development, early childhood development, education, climate change, public health, agriculture, or other areas that could significantly improve people's lives and Myanmar's long-term future.

What do you think are the most important research gaps in Myanmar right now? Are there any issues that are overlooked, lack reliable data, or need more evidence to help communities, organizations, or policymakers make better decisions?

I would especially appreciate recommendations for existing studies, reports, or research that could help me explore these topics further. Thank you!

News 📰 Yee Mon Myat isn't the only Burmese athlete excelling in Japan. Her brother Kaung Zan Mara is signed to Machida Zelvia, a football club in the Japanese top division which is arguably the best in Asia. He's 6'3 and plays as a keeper. Born and raised in Tokyo, he wants to play for Japan national team.

38 Upvotes

The Japanese top division is arguably the best in Asia along with the Saudi League, so it's very impressive to see a Burmese player at that level.

To give you context, Pyae Lyan Aung was a Myanmar national team keeper who was granted asylum by the Japanese government in 2021. He then tried out for a Japanese THIRD division team and couldn't make it. He even said the Myanmar national team would lose if they play against a team from the Japanese third division because the quality is very good there.

Kaung Zan Mara got signed by a team in the Japanese FIRST division. It just shows how good he is compared to the best keepers in Myanmar.

Now 24, he has dreams to play for the Japan national team. It's a very ambitious dream because in the last two World Cups, Japan beat Spain and Germany, and draw with the Netherlands. They are a very good national team.

His another dream is to play for the German giants Bayern Munich one day.

Currently, Kaung Zan Mara has been loaned out to Japanese second division team Vanraure Hachinohe to get some valuable playing time.

Born in Tokyo to a Rakhine dad and a Bamar mom, his parents must be so proud to see both their kids become top level athletes in Japan.

Do you guys know why arr pu shar puu is rarely available in typical burmese menu? Like, it's available in dedicated shops like Min Lan but not in like shwe pa lin or typical tea shops...

Is it not popular or is it hard to cook or is it ethnic?

If so, mohinga seems harder to cook with more ingredients and need speicifc kind of fish too and Shan noodles are always in the menu even tho its ethnic.

Advice Burmese Palm Leaf book/manuscript. Søren Egerod mentioned in it.

Post image
8 Upvotes

I have this palm leaf scroll/book/manuscript. I think it's Burmese, but not sure. Anyone here that have an idea what is in the text? and if it is old or some newer version of something?

I have two "scrolls" from an estate. The name Søren Egerod a danish specialist in Burmese is mentioned with normal letters in one of the scrolls.

Søren Egerod (1923-1995)

  • The Burma Connection: He was a legendary Danish linguist and Professor of East Asian Languages at the University of Copenhagen. In the 1950s and alternating decades, he traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia, including Burma (Myanmar), Thailand, and surrounding regions to study indigenous languages, dialects, and grammatical structures.
  • The Palm Leaf Specialism: During his expeditions to remote areas like Kengtung (Chiang Tung) near the Burmese border, he meticulously collected and preserved ancient texts. He became globally renowned for analyzing and decoding rare bilingual Pāli-Burmese palm-leaf manuscripts and Buddhist scripts. His extensive personal collection of Burmese palm leaves was later curated by the British Library and Danish institutions to aid global research.

The estate is not from Søren Egerod, so what the connection is I do not know.

I hope someone knows something to help me on the road to what i actually have here :)
