A grin and Myanmar adventures

Sounds like an interesting film by Chris Marker. Especially in the context of trying to understand the student protests in the 1960s and 1970s.

A Grin Without a Cat is a 1977 French essay film by Chris Marker. It focuses on global political turmoil in the 1960s and '70s, particularly the rise of the New Left in France and the development of socialist movements in Latin America. Using the image of Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat, the film's title evokes a dissonance between the promise of a global socialist revolution (the grin) with its actual nonexistence. The film's original French title is Le fond de l'air est rouge, which means "The essence of the air is red", and has a subtext similar to the English title, implying that the socialist movement existed only in the air.

The title is also a play on words: The original expression in French is "Le fond de l'air est frais", meaning "there is a chill/a nip in the air". Chris Marker replaced the last word with "rouge" (red), so the original title translates to There are Reds in the Air.

Trying out a super wide panoramic shot

One dog and many of same kitten pics

More pictures from my adventure in Yangon. Here is a view outside this place called FEEL Myanmar. A very popular restaurant in Myanmar. A mid-range pricing and with an extensive menu. 

Walking out of the restaurant, I encounter a dog and kitten.

Shwedagon Pagoda and my diy comfort food

Shwedagon Pagoda also known as the Great Dagon Pagoda and the Golden Pagoda, is a gilded stupa located in Yangon, Myanmar. The pagoda is a dominant part of the Yangon skyline.

Pictures of my adventure there in August 2015.

There is a picture of my 'curated' porridge which is the kind of comfort food I love to have in the beginning of the day. Why isn't there a restaurant which do this style of comfort food with lots of veg options? Perhaps, we should have a porridge party at the Substation residency.

Just spectacular isn't it?

On a bridge in the temple which is covered by persplex. Looking out to 3 young ladies sitting on the green.

Love my comfort food which I DIY together from the morning breakfast buffet.
