Woke up at 10+, washed up and got ready, went to the supermarket near our flat with sissi. She bought a lot of household items and spent 15,000 while I only spent 200 kyat on a bottle of water.
Then we went to cafe KSS to use the internet. I bought a braised chicken dish with rice. It was quite good, cost 3000 kyat, which is about 4 sgd.
Then after that Sissi and I took a bus to myanigone Dagon plaza and to the business school. There we bumped into all the Taiwanese who were there for a briefing.
Then me and Sissi went to IT cafe, where she ordered a mango dessert very similar to mango sago. We stayed at the cafe for a while before going back to the school. Then some time passed before lesson started and for the second time there was only 1 student, the same guy from the previous day. Anna was sick so I ended up teaching for the entire lesson. We covered a few financial ratios and operations management.
after the lesson ended, cate, Anna and I took a bus back home. It was a ride from hell and the worst bus ride I've ever taken. So scary T.T
After going home, Anna, cate, Greg and klaus went to shangri-la to use the internet and watch a football game? Then me and lixia went out because she wanted to buy milk but alas! The supermarket was already closed, so we went to walk around a little...and ended up at singapore food junction. We saw a little show put up by the prostitutes. They did some substandard catwalk which was quite amusing. They all walked so half-heartedly and had such dull expressions. And I dunno how they came up with the catwalk sequence but it was so funny lol. They kept going again and again.
I ordered an omelette there that cost about 2sgd. It was there that I lost my bloody wallet. I think I must have lost 70,000 kyat. I'm very upset with my own negligence and carelessness. At the very least I still have sufficient money to ride me through the rest of my time here. I'm hoping to keep to spending within what I've already exchanged, but that's only possible if I do zero shopping, so I don't know...right now my budget is 13,500 kyat a day. Sigh.
