Discovered that I lost my wallet last night :(
Counted all my money and settled on austerity measures by budgeting max 13,500 kyat a day. Which is actually totally doable unless I do some shopping.
Since I was on a budget, my plan to go to shangri-la was ruined. I ended up waiting for Anna to be done and we left the house together. She was wearing a white and black striped chiffon top, and I was wearing my red checkered shirt and GAP shorts. Finally my shorts have been put to use!! Haha.
We then are at Happy Family again where I bought a rice salad for about 2sgd. It's great to only spend 1500 kyat a meal. After losing my money I became much more mindful of my spending.
After that we went to PS business school, and I helped Mary make a poster. I used the same colourful background that I used to make my first ever sidewalk poster. The grand opening poster.
There was no lesson that day so after I finally transferred the poster to Mary (tried email but internet couldn't make it, then we finally found out that klaus has a thumbdrive), we went to a very local restaurant to have our meal.
I had a huge portion of fried rice for 1500 kyat. Honestly eating out in myanmar can be a very affordable thing! :)
Mary left early because her dad called. I sort of get a feeling that her parents are quite strict with her maybe because Burmese parents can be quite conservative. She also couldn't attend an IC in Thailand because I think her parents don't allow.
Anw Burmese passports suck! Have to get a visa to enter everywhere lol.
After that Me, Klaus and Anna went home by bus and I think that's the end of our day.
