Date - 20-10-07

I leaved 6:30 AM from my home. I walked on food to Dalla bus stop to reach to Twante. In the bus stop, I had my breakfast and then I took a seat in the bus (BM). The bus leaved 7:00 AM from the dalla. Along the road, I saw so many green paddy fields, lake with lotus (white and red) and villages. In this raining season, because of heavy rain, the road is so rough. So it took me one hour and thirty minutes to reach Twante. In
Twante, Wunna Ko, one of my YIE friend who live in Twante, waited me in the bus stop in Twante. He treated me in the tea shop. After that I found the battery for camera, but I could not found it. So I can't shoot in school for monastery education. but I and he decided to start to go the school for monastery education in Phalagyi, one of the Twante's village by cycle. It take us 30 minutes to get there from Twante. In this school, we met the head of monk and we asked about this school and situation and other factors (quantity of students, quantity of monks, how can we donate? what kind of things can we donate? and so on.) then we come back to Twante. I found to buy the battery for camera, fortunately I got it. And I pay respect the Twante Shwesantaw Pagoda and I went to Ohphotan Ward to examine how to make the pot and process of pot. At noon, I came back to Wunna's house and having the lunch. After having the lunch, we go to Wunna's Restaurant where situated near port of Twante, on the bank of Twante cannel, in this restaurant, Wunna serve to me by cold drink.
