It's not often that the monks at the Trappist Monastery in Guimaras allow photo moments like this. The Trappists are Roman Catholic monks who follow the rule of St. Benedict as lived by the monks of Citeuax, France. Prayers and the Divine Office are their primary occupation in addition to making their living by farming and food processing (February 2012).

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...

and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.
The monk post for his companion but I also add myself to take this shot too so the monk just looked at me as well.

DBS class 66 no 66 115 seems rather to dwarf the bridge over Mill Lane immediately south of Monks Risborough station. It is heading 6A58, the morning Calvert-Northolt binliner empties.

These are the ruins of one of the oldest universities in the world built in the 5th century CE. Monks from all over the word came and stayed in this residential school, including the most famous Xuan Zhang from China who documented his travel (backpacking) of 32 years to this place and back.
I havent made an RPG style character figure in a while. Here's a monk with a staff. As usual decals are hand-drawn.
One of the most serene and beautiful places on earth, the Angkor Wat temple is home to a number of itinerant Buddhist monks.
Buddhist Monks at Lumbini (04-06-2011) -
Our first visit in Nepal was to Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. The place was opened (or re-opened) in 2003 for public. It attracts many Buddhist from all over the world. In the photo a group from Vietnam was visiting the place and meeting the monks!
Find a tree that's full of ripe fruit and you never know what might appear! I was watching for warblers when this noisy pair arrived.

This monk washing was hanging on the line at a pagoda we visited.
Biên Hòa is a city in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, about 20 miles (32 km) (30 kilometers) east of Saigon, to which Bien Hoa is linked by Vietnam Highway 1. In 1989 the estimated population was over 300,000. And now in 2005, population increased to 541,495, and some estimates show that the city has 604,548 people in 2007
Bien Hoa grew into a major suburb of Saigon (later renamed Ho Chi Minh City) as the capital city of South Vietnam grew. Following the First Indochina War, tens of thousands of refugees from the northern and central regions of Vietnam—a large portion of them Roman Catholics—resettled in Bien Hoa as part of Operation Passage to Freedom.
During the Vietnam War, the United States Air Force operated Bien Hoa Air Base near the city. Nonetheless, a significant number of the city's residents sympathized with, or were members of, the Viet Cong. Mortar attacks on U.S. and ARVN targets were frequently staged from residential districts in Bien Hoa.
With regard to entertainment, the city includes several amusement parks, night clubs and restaurants lining the Dong Nai River. Construction has increased rapidly (with many Western-style houses and villas under development), and the real estate market has experienced a series of boom cycles since the mid-1990s. The retail market still includes the many ad hoc bazaar-type markets and shop-fronts common to most of Vietnam, but now also includes air-conditioned, enclosed shopping malls, one of which, a Big C branch, includes a KFC restaurant, a Western-style grocery store, a bowling alley and video arcade, among others.
