Chaque Canadien utilise en moyenne 300-350 litres d'eau par jour (pour boire, cuisiner, se laver, arroser son gazon, etc.). Dans un camp, chaque réfugié reçoit environ 5 litres d'eau par jour (pour les mêmes besoins qu'un Canadien). Au Canada, tirer la chasse d'eau de la toilette utilise 18 litres d'eau (6 pour les nouveaux modèles).

Each Canadian uses an average of 300-350 liters of water per day (to drink, cook, wash, water the lawn, etc.). In a camp, each refugee is given approximately 5 liters of water per day (for the same needs as a Canadian). In Canada, flushing a toilet uses 18 liters of water (6 for the new models).

Sunrise over Bagan - even if I like this picture a lot, it does not come close to how I remember it!

Some British businessman started offering balloon trips over the Bagan Area, which is know known for being one of the best ballooning areas in the world.

A balloon flight costs a fortune (10-30 month salaries of a Burmese worker).

Better on Black

Please keep in mind:

Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.

In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.

All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.

The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.

The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.

Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.

The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...

- www.humantrafficking.org

- Worldvision

- International Red Cross

- Unicef

and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)

- www.myanmar-kinderhilfe

This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.

Please help, the burmese people need it.

An example of typical shelters in a refugee camp. Each of these might house a family of 6-10 people, requiring them to sleep in shifts.

Un infirmier de l'Unité Nutritionnelle Thérapeutique Ambulatoire d'un centre de santé soutenu par Médecins Sans Frontières à Walikalé, dans la province du Nord-Kivu en République démocratique du Congo, mesure le périmètre brachial d'un enfant le 12 février 2017. / A nurse of the Ambulatory Therapeutic Nutrition Unit of a health center supported by Médecins Sans Frontières in Walikale, in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is measuring the brachial perimeter of a child on February 12th, 2017.

Migrants on board an overcrowded rubber dinghy sailed from the Libyan coast anxiously wait to be rescued on board the M.S.F. (Médecins Sans Frontières - Doctors Without Borders) Bourbon Argos search and rescue ship, which is just appraching them in the Mediterranean Sea, in international waters. 26 August 2015.

In 2015 the ever-increasing number of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea on unseaworthy vessels towards Europe led to an unprecedented crisis. Nearly 120 thousand people have reached Italy in the first 8 months of the year. While the European governments struggled to deal with the influx, the death toll in the Mediterranean reached record numbers.

Early in May the international medical relief organization Médecins Sans Frontières (M.S.F.) joined in the search and rescue operations led in the Mediterranean Sea and launched three ships at different stages: the Phoenix (run by the Migrant Offshore Aid Station), the Bourbon Argos and Dignity.
