Trainee millionaire

His name is Soe Thura Htun, he's 12 years old next month, and he was helping his mother in the family jewelry shop in Aung San Market in Yangon. He had total self-confidence and pretty good English, because he attends a private school. He handles the foreign tourists side of the business - I ended up buying something from the shop, just because he was so charming.

 

STH to me: Are you a Christian?

Me: Yes - how about you?

STH: No, I'm Chinese Buddhist.

Me: Oh, so you have a Chinese name?

STH: I used to, but I forgot it.
