I have a technique of getting to know people anywhere...dumb luck. Well not exactly, but pretty close. I just walk around and smile at everyone and sooner or later, someone wants to practice their English with me.

As I mentioned before, we went to a temple/children's home in Burma yesterday and we walked around for one hour no takers. Then, as we were ready to leave, a monk greeted us and invited us into the monestary. We sat and talked about what was going on in Burma and how desperate the situation was regarding the complete lack of freedom and the continuing guerilla war with the Karen Guerillas. He was surprisingly open and told us if the government knew what he said he would go to jail (hence the adjustment to the photo).
