Arrive at Bagan 06h00 , my friends come and find us . we drive to Mya Thida Guest house . All writers stay there and i go see my family.Then , i go fetch up writers and we start the visit with library then in old Bagan. SARABAR GATE II restaurant invite us for lunch . WE come back to guest house after lunch. I left them at Guest house around 13h30. i have to go and help my friends at City hall who prepare for this evening.

At 17h50 , all is ready and set .i am so exciting …i see nobody in the hall , the writers arrive but i have no audience .

I don’t know how i have to do..but after a few minutes , Group of students arrive then people come like a school of fish You cannot imagine how happy I am , I am very pleased with what I have done.

We start the talk till 22h20. First, Saya Khin Maung Toe , he talks about his life and some joke to keep audience enjoy the talk because second person ( Saya Kyaw Win) supposes to talk /introduce “ THE WORLD IS FLAT” by Thomas L Friedman..people get shock and some don’t understand ( personally , I like it because I think that they should know it) then Saya PE Myint talk some short story from Chicken soup for soul by Jack Canfield . Children and student appreciate it a lot.


Unfortunately, I cannot stay at Bagan for professional reason and I have to fly back to Yangon Tuesday morning, 06 February 2007. I left all the writers with my friends.

Wednesday 07 February 2007 , they ( writers) fly back to Yangon , I go find them at airport and send them back to their home and they said second night is much better as the know more about what the audience want.





I would like to say thank you to the audience coming to seminar, the writers and all my friends from Bagan. i will try again in next year 2008 !
