I want to introduce Aung again*, who runs a Japanese language school in Rangoon, whom I met through an introduction from Kazuo Inoue, a Japanese buckwheat farmer who passed away in Chiang Rai, Thailand.
*Please find the previous blog on this. http://marsk.wp.xdomain.jp/2024/05/
Please let me know if you are interested in this blog. I, SUCHITOO am planning to visit Myanmar for the fourth time. A tourist visa is valid for 28 days. This visit is to meet Aung.
Information from Mail and Facebook on August 3, 2024, said that fighting was occurring near Rangoon, Myanmar’s second-largest city. He is in his late 50s and does not seem to be required to serve in the military, but he seems to be looking for a place to escape to a safe area. He has never been to Japan, but his Japanese language skills are one in 100. His expressive face and cheerful personality are better than those of Japanese people. And he is a caring person.
I have introduced Myanmar on this blog 14 times so far, but recent articles related to Aung are on April 6, 2024, February 4, 2021 (after the coup), and March 6, 2018. In particular, in February 2020, he guided a group of 10 LSC members from Saitama Prefecture to Tachilake.
@The current situation was reported in the morning edition of the Asahi Shimbun on August 5, 2024. I hope that peace and stability will come soon.
@Although Myanmar is a country of concern because it is “not peaceful” and “not a democratic country” among the 10 ASEAN countries, the people of Myanmar are gentle, hardworking, and wonderful people who believe in Buddhism. There is also a connection with Japan due to the redemption during the Pacific War, but it is gradually weakening. In addition, a Japanese person from Aeon’s local subsidiary was arrested and released. SUCHITOO is against “merchants of death.” It seems that they are not doing business for the Myanmar people.
