“ ထုတ်ဝေရေးလောကမှာတော့ စိစစ်ရေးရုပ်သိမ်းလိုက်တဲ့အခါ အများကြီးပြောင်းလဲသွားတယ်။ ဒါပေမယ့် လာဘ်စားတဲ့ကိစ္စ၊ ခြစားတဲ့ကိစ္စတွေ ရေးရင်တော့ စိတ်မချရသေးဘူးလို့ ခံစားကြတယ်။ ယဉ်ကျေးမှုနဲ့ ဘာသာရေးကိစ္စမှာလဲ ဒီအတိုင်းပါပဲ။ ထိလို့မရသေးဘူး။ ပန်ဒိုရာ ”

“ After a year or two, the long term expats won’t see the beggars the same way. After a year or two, the cheeky young monks won’t make them smile. After a year or two, the newest restaurant opening won’t pull them in. To preserve they will withdraw and settle. They will come to accept the limits of it all. The hype won’t bother them. The promise won’t motivate them. They will have accepted their odd expat life, their awkward place in the chimera that is Myanmar today. ”
― Craig Hodges
