Yegenaga Travel & Tours Guide

There is an important advice that I was late to know and only after the event, I just. Advice is that we, if hate something or love something do not be excessive. Could be what we hate is good for us, and instead what we love it, one day be turned against us.

I had gone to Chemical Engineering. Department which in my opinion at that time, quite popular, according to the physics department that I took in high school. And according to information I received, when not all the time study of medical studies be my goal before. And more importantly, do not need a special time for the drawing task, as will be seen in the mechanical engineering department that was taken by some of my older brother.

Apparently I missed expectations. Was never any work that makes my pictures ‘wayangan’, stayed up all night to do the job picture. But it was in every semester my average should take two practicum courses, a course which is equivalent to four hours of lessons, plus the initial tests, preparing reports, and final test with a professor who is consuming a lot of my time. Does not include improvements that reports are often made to stay up.

I also really love Surabaya, the city where I was born, so for college and I kerjapun aspire to remain in the city is. On the other hand I hate to Jakarta. Congestion, complexity and high cost of living in Jakarta made me think that only people who are less willing to work just to live there.

My goal after college, want to working in the industry in accordance with my knowledge and I hate the sales and contracting work, which in my opinion, the kind of work this job is very unstable and not fit with my soul like something established, routine and regular.

I never thought my hatred of the three things above, lab / lab, Jakarta and this contractor that will be my life in the future.

Once I graduated, after applying the various companies, I finally received in a foreign oil company contractor. An alien to me, because the direction I took with oil, not too closely related. But because I’ve quick work and do not want to burden their parents, especially my accepted at that time in my opinion pretty well-paid. So I accept this job.

Problems that arise are, because this company contractor, I more or less related to the customer and serve them well as a king.

Another problem is that my work related to the design of a ’system’. Like it or not I have often made the pilot test and quality control requires long I work in the lab.

And because I am stationed at the base Jakarta, so I had to stay in Jakarta also with all its problems, including congestion and high living costs that I do not like.

So I have already completed all the things I hate about the job. Contractor, lab and Jakarta.

But one day I will prove that from the things that I hate that I get the benefits others. Among them is the opportunity to travel. Something that has become my goal for a long time. And other things that were more beneficial for me in the future.

In this section I will tell you about the experiences of my traveling, especially with regard to my work.

Myanmar is a country ruled by the military regime. A rather closed country and not a destination place for our people, whether for work, school or travel.

But, we’ll never know what’s happening in our future. So do with me. I never even dreamed to four times to visit this country.

As a consequence of the contracts that my company won. I had to leave to participate in oil projects held in the country.

It was here that I could feel how it feels to be an expatriate. The highest class of workers of foreign experts, as long as I can only imagine from Caucasians, Caucasians who worked in my office.

There are some interesting places I’ve ever been in Myanmar this. Among Swe Dagon Pagoda and Bogyoke Market.

Swe Dagon Pagoda

Burmese friends I used to call me with a Burmese boy. They say that I look burma partner. Yes they look similar, straight hair, brown skin of my physique, too. I do not mind the nickname was so. a even more familiar with them.

But there is one thing looks favorable with my Burmese. At the time I visited Swe Dagon Pagoda, I could get into without having to pay. Foreign tourists should have to pay 5 dollars to get into the pagoda. But I am a confident in, as if I was accustomed to enter it. And this is my first visit to Swe Dagon and I was not fluent in Burmese. And my tactic was effective, the officer let me go. Maybe they think I’m going to pray at the pagoda. Once inside the pagoda, I realized that I was the only person wearing the Myanmar-looking jeans. All the people looking all wearing gloves Myanmar. Only a couple of Western tourists and Japanese who dressed like me. And regardless of them, I immediately grab the tripod and camera. The result you can see here.

Bogyoke Market

This is a good place to find gifts or souvenirs with reasonable price. Various kinds of handicrafts, gem stones such as jade, ruby or sapphire can we meet here. Also illustrated Swe Dagon shirts or greeting writings Myanmar language very fitting to be souvenirs. And I can get a cheaper price again, because I took my Myanmar friend who can speak English, Thet Win.

Thet Win Burmese people who are of Chinese descent. In the project, he became deputy camp boss, who is responsible for providing accommodation for the workers.

Irrawaddy

This river is the largest river in Myanmar, Myanmar split from north to south. Like the rivers of Borneo, the people of Myanmar, use this river for various purposes such as bath, laundry as well as for transportation.

Because we established camp on the banks of this river. We could all activities of people studied in this river of Myanmar.

Sarong

Myanmar people are identical with the scabbard. Unlike in Indonesia or Malaysia who only use gloves for purposes of worship or custom event, Myanmar people use gloves for a variety of daily activities.

I never particularly noticed this. Them to the office wearing a sarong, they also to school, to the market

My friend Thet Thet, when I was invited to play volleyball, she did not feel the need to change holster with sports clothes. Simply pull the front end of the holster, and pulled him backward and twisting tucked in the back of the holster, a kind of short pants. That way he could do serve, jump while doing the block, or even a ball freely without fear of an open shame.

On a morning when I walked camp beside the river, I found someone Myanmar man who squats with straight face, and changed embarrassed when I passed. I was surprised, and tried to dodge away. Later I learned other functions on the holster which Myanmar is a toilet. So they use the sheath to do ‘need’ that one. No wonder they were embarrassed when I found out.
