About

I did my undergraduate studies in America, at a small liberal arts college in Middlebury, Vermont. Now that it’s over, I’m heading back to where I’m from. I’m Burmese, born and raised in Yangon, but spent a significant portion of my life in Singapore. This is a chronicle of my journey home, and all the wondrous things I find along the way.

I’ll blog mainly about books, music, culture, technology, religion, food and other stuff that entices a twenty-something’s senses.

The name of this blog is taken from one of Paul Graham’s essays.
