[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1830555, member: 16453"] Burma is one of the few places that interest me. I used to do house calls to 2 sister's dogs, they had separate houses and they were Burmese. One was a widow whose late husband was an Australian, the other was married to a Canadian. They were lovely ladies, they grew up on a rubber plantation in Burma pre ww2, their father managed this big plantation. They had to keep their wits about them to survive, always people trying to take over the plantation, one of them told me how she saw her father cut the throat of an intruder one night. They escaped to Australia when the Japs were invading. They had a hard time in Australia during the war as people thought they were of Japanese origin. The one married to the Australian lived with him on a small island of their own I think it was in the Maldives group. She was a good cook and they were visited a lot by cruising yachts and soon got the reputation as a good place to visit and she had an informal restaurant for income. Her husband "Bluey" liked his grog, she told me how she would send Bluey in their boat to a bigger island for supplies and Bluey would visit every pub there and come back late in the evening hanging off the side of the boat with a bottle of grog in one hand singing. She had a drawing in her house that one of the yachties drew of Bluey and he did look like a bit of a character. There was a US publisher that was pushing her to write a book of her life which she was doing when I used to visit however my understanding was she did not finish it due to dementia. Her brother in law, Gordan, the Canadian told me a bit about Bluey when they visited, he was a bit of a wild boy. Ken [/QUOTE]
