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
