I post this information below directly from an e-mail I received from one of the organisers. I will not attend personally. Myanmar is tough on the body and Pa Auk Tawya Meditation Centre, Mawlamyine is particularly tough, especially during the hot months from March to June. Food is not good and living conditions are hard to bear for softies like me. I shall try a centre in Sri Lanka with teachers trained at Pa Auk Tawya. MK

Dear Michael,
It seems the trips were very harsh, esp. when you were not in a good health. I wish you recover from the cold and be healthy again the soonest.
Some names/terms written in your blog sound unfamiliar for me due to different pronunciations in Thai, though I can decode some of them.
Please keep on updating the blog if you have some time, so that I can follow your trip, even only by my imagination.
May the Dhamma take good care of you along the journey.
Best always,
Wasana
