Following Wealth
-
And Oi! Hey you! Remember that Burma is ‘apparently’ having more democratic elections next year (2010). Only Aung San Suu Kyi, the wanted leader of NLD, has had her house arrest extended because some American dude swam the river to go see her. Strange thing to do, but the junta would have extended her sentence anyway.

A friend in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Chadwick made a great poster of Aung San Suu Kyi ‘We can do it’, based on the second world war American posters encouraging home work efforts by women.

We Can Do It
| But isn’t Burma and Myanmar the same country? | yes, the military junta changed the name to Myanmar in 1989 to represent the junta’s ethnicity | So they’re trying to crowd out the other nationalities | Seems so | Where are the other nationalities going then? | Well, a lot of them go to Thailand | what are they going into Thailand for? | i don’t know, perhaps they’re following their wealth |

| I’m always broke | I’m tired of buying fashionable outfits, | so I can look good, and meet more people | and make more friends who I don’t like anyway | Well, I guess it costs a lot to look rich |
