This is the story of Lya Badgley, a woman whose life reads like an adventure novel filled with courage, resilience, and the pursuit of an authentic existence. Lya's story begins in the vibrant landscapes of Southeast Asia, where she was born. She traveled the world with her parents, and those travels would shape her world view. Lya shares how a diagnosis of MS led her to become ever more adventurous.   “Choices that you'll make that appear reckless to the people around you and to society. But you're thinking, I don't care, right? What's the worst that can happen? I could die?”   Thanks to MS, Lya faced a future filled with uncertainty. Instead of succumbing to fear, she embraced the unknown. Her illness became a catalyst for a life of unexpected adventures, from crossing borders into Burma to opening a restaurant in a foreign land. Lya's narrative is a powerful reminder that our most significant challenges can lead to our most extraordinary achievements. Through her story, we see the human side of illness—the friendships lost, the emotional toll, and the profound sense of loneliness that can accompany a diagnosis. But Lya's tale is not one of despair. It's a story of rebirth, of finding new ways to be and reinventing oneself amidst adversity. Her journey into mindfulness and meditation reveals a path to inner strength and the ability to make choices from a place of gratitude rather than bitterness. This conversation is  an invitation to reflect on our own lives, our own bumps in the road, and how we might use them as portals into a more conscious and meaningful existence. So grab a cup of coffee, settle into a comfortable chair, and let Lya Badgley's extraordinary story inspire you to view your life's bumps not as obstacles but as opportunities for growth. And be sure to check out lay's books “ and “” which explore the themes of global conflict and personal resilience.     What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys. It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road.” –Pragito Dove   “Pat has woven together beautiful stories of life setbacks that have been transformed into spiritual growth. This book is a gift and a must-read for souls experiencing pain and yearning for growth.”   –Gary Hensel   Learn more at   Follow Bump on: ➡️  ➡️  ➡️  ➡️  ➡️     

Engelskans världsherravälde har en blodig historia, men språket fortsätter att ta över världen. Och symbolen för förtryck används nu som en väg till befrielse, konstaterar Per J Andersson. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Varje vinter lockas hundratusentals bokläsare till den indiska ökenstaden Jaipur för den stora litteraturfestivalen. Mängder med indiska och andra språk finns representerade när allt från lokala författare till Nobelpristagare från Afrika, Europa och Amerika sammanstrålar i ett sammelsurium av diskussioner och framträdanden. Men med få undantag är språket på scenerna engelska.Det kan låta förvånande i en före detta brittisk koloni, man skulle ju kunna gissa att detta var en plats där dominansen för de forna översittarnas språk ifrågasattes.Anledningen är förstås att engelskan likt sina föregångare grekiskan, feniciskan, arabiskan och latinet erbjuder kommunikation över språkgränserna. Samtidigt var de ju dessa tungomål ett hinder för folkligt deltagande, eftersom de stängde ute alla de som inte behärskade de lärdas språk. Samma sak i dagens Indien där befolkningsmajoriteten exkluderas när såväl den ekonomiska och kulturella eliten som juristerna i landets högre domstolar kommunicerar på engelska.Att engelska fick ärva titeln som lingua franca handlar framförallt om att det brittiska imperiet kontrollerade en fjärdedel av världens landmassa. Och att USA efter andra världskrigets slut och avkolonialiseringen axlade rollen som världsmakt.Engelskan blev snabbt den globala marknadsekonomins förstahandsval. Dessutom på flera fronter: i populärkulturen, det politiska systemet, den internationella föreningsvärlden och affärsvärlden. För att inte tala om akademin. Som Rosemary Salomone påpekar i boken ”The Rise of English”: av världens hundra viktigaste vetenskapliga tidskrifter är alla engelskspråkiga.Och så verkar det förbli under lång tid framöver. Kineserna har gjort tafatta försök att introducera mandarin i de länder i Afrika där man utövar inflytande. Det har inte slagit väl ut, av det enkla skälet, menar Salomone, att det kinesiska språket inte bär på ett löfte om frihet, utan förknippas med politiskt förtryck. Franskan behåller fortfarande visst grepp om de före detta kolonierna i Nord- och Västafrika, men förlorar sakta men säkert mark, eftersom engelskan gör framsteg även där. Och de antivästliga idéströmningarna i Ryssland, Kina och den muslimska världen visar att det verkar fungera utmärkt att vara i opposition till västerländska värderingar i allmänhet och USA:s utrikespolitik i synnerhet och samtidigt omfamna engelskan.Frågan är om sättet att formulera tankar och idéer skiljer sig åt beroende på vilket språk man tänker, skriver och pratar på. Den brittiska parlamentarikern Thomas Babington Macaulay ansåg i alla fall det. I mitten av 1800-talet talade han nedsättande i om de asiatiska kulturspråken och menade, i tidstypisk chauvinistisk anda, att engelskan passade bättre för avancerade tankar. Han ville anglifiera den indiska tjänstemannaklassen för att få den att tänka, som han såg det, mer förnuftigt och rationellt, alltså mer engelskt, och därmed minska klyftan mellan kolonisatörer och undersåtar. På så sätt ville han skapa en ny hybridklass som etniskt sett är indisk, men i alla andra avseenden – smak, tyckande, moral och intellekt – är fullblodsengelsk.Av samma skäl vill Indiens premiärminister 180 år senare få landets juridiska system och politiska och ekonomiska elit att återgå till hindi. För kommunicerar man på ett indiskt språk så tänker man, resonerar premiärministern, på ett mer indiskt vis, och det stärker den indiska kulturen och den nationella gemenskapen.Att val av språk påverkar tänkandet håller många aktivister och författare längst ner i det indiska kastsystemet med om. Men de å sin sida välkomnar engelskan. De anser nämligen att den är mindre förtryckande än hindi och sanskrit, som de ser som brahminernas, den högsta kastens, alltså den religiösa elitens, språk.Radikala dalitaktivister har resonerat att engelsmännen har förtryckt dem dubbelt, det vill säga politiskt och ekonomiskt, men att de hinduiska politiska ledarna gör det trefalt. För de har ju såväl statsapparaten och den nedärvda feodala makten som det religiösa förtrycket i sin hand. Dessutom betraktar de engelsmännens förtryck som historia, medan brahminernas pågår här och nu.Därför är det kanske ändå inte så förvånande att ställningstagandet för engelskan får stöd även bland de intellektuella på Jaipurfestivalen. Det är de som vill hindra asiatiska, afrikanska och karibiska författare från att skriva på engelska som ger uttryck för en kolonial attityd – och inte tvärtom, sas det till exempel från scenen ett år. Och när jag på 2023 års upplaga av festivalen träffade Nobelpristagaren Abdulraznak Gurnah och frågade varför han inte skrev sina böcker på swahili, hans modersmål under uppväxten på Zanzibar, gav han följande svar:Om jag hade skrivit på swahili hade risken varit stor att jag utsatts för censur från de auktoritära ledarna som då styrde i Östafrika. ”Engelskan”, sa han, ”gav mig frihet”.Språk är inte bara ett sätt att kommunicera. Det handlar som framgår också om makt och social status. Den indiske dalitförfattaren Chandra Bhan Prasad har sagt att om ett barn i en fattig familj lär sig engelska, så skapar det samma välstånd som om det hade fått ärva 50 hektar jordbruksmark.Kunskaper i engelska kan i världens fattigaste länder kort sagt vara en biljett ut ur fattigdomen och in i medelklassen. De engelskspråkiga privatskolorna i New Delhi, Karachi och Nairobi kostar en rejäl slant, vilket inte behöver vara ett absolut hinder, inte ens för de fattigaste. För föräldrar i städernas slum tar stora lån för att finansiera sina barns skolgång. Ett rationellt beslut, eftersom barn som behärskar detta världsspråk har ljusare framtidsutsikter än de som inte gör det. Det gäller också i Mellanöstern, där tjänstemän som kan skriva på engelska generellt sett har högre lön och bättre karriärmöjligheter.Samtidigt använder politiska motståndsrörelser språket för att få världens blickar på sig. Under arabiska våren 2011 formulerade aktivister slagord på engelska i stället för på arabiska eller franska, som ju fler i den närmaste omgivningen hade förstått. De motiverade det med att ”… det är så här vi gör för att påverka världsopinionen”. Samma strategi användes under protesterna mot militärkuppen i Mynamar tio år senare.Men kanske har engelskans mångtydiga segertåg över världen aldrig illustrerats tydligare än på de plakat som demonstranter i Bangladesh huvudstad Dakha höll upp när den amerikanska presidenten besökte landet strax efter millennieskiftet:”Bill Clinton, go home – and take us with you!”Per J Anderssonförfattare och resejournalist

Aung San Suu Kyi - Fear Creates Corruption - Nobel Acceptance Speech! Hi, I'm Christy Shriver and we're here to discuss books that have changed the world and have changed us. And I'm Garry Shriver, and this is the How to Love Lit Podcast. This week, we want to turn our attention to the words and ideas of peace advocate and Nobel Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi. Her story is set in Southeast Asia. A region that includes the nations of Brunei, Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. It is the most diverse region of Asia and includes hundreds of different cultures, religions, racial make ups and languages. Just politically there are nine different kinds of regimes represented in this region of the world, ranging from military juntas, like Myanmar to monarchies like Brunei to democracies like the Philippines. Freedom House, a non-profit that monitors democracies and indexes freedoms around the world, does not rate a single country in the region as “free”. Countries such as The Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia are rated as partly free, but Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are not. Of course, there are many variables that create barriers to freedom in the region, and each country has its own unique story. This week, we want to explore the story of Myanmar and of a woman who has devoted her life to its survival. Many people may know Myanmar by its other name, Burma. Yes, and that is confusing. Up until 1989, it was called Burma, but in 1989, the military dictatorship changed the name of the country claiming it was more historically accurate to call it Myanmar instead of the British-derived Burma. However, there was no public referendum on that, and many opposed the change, including Aung San Suu Kyi. She, along with many others continue to refer to the country as Burma. This is just one indication of the many political problems that plague this nation. The country is large, over 55 million people life there. It's natural beauty ranges from pristine beaches to the Himalayan mountains where many tribal groups live in relative seclusion. Myanmar has cool wildlife like tigers and leopards and elephants. It's full of of buddhist temples, in fact, there are thousands pagodas in Myanmar earning the country the nickname, the land of pagodas, just the ancient Bagan city has over 2000 still standing. Almost any landscape picture of Myanmar will showcase the glittery golden pagodas that dot the landscape, reminding us that this is a with a deep and rich history. But before we get too far into politics or religion, let's situate it geographically. It is bordered by India to the West, and by Western China, Thailand and Laos to the east. It is also the largest nation in continental Southeast Asia. Remember India is considered Southern Asia, and China is considered Eastern Asia, so Mynamar is between the two. Hosted on Acast.

Since the Myanmar army overturned the November 2020 election and asserted itself violently against the will of its own people in February 2021. One of the recent features of the CDM has been the flow of young people from lower Myanmar to ethnic minority-controlled areas, where many of them are receiving military training from armed ethnic organisations, which have long been in conflict with the Myanmar army. In the process, these young people are learning about places, peoples, languages, and cultures of Myanmar's border regions in person and often for the first time. For some young activists, the experience is providing connection and insight that enables them to feel more empathy with the experiences of oppression and violence that many minority communities have suffered for decades. Their understanding of what long-standing ‘ethnic conflicts' have been about has changed, and with it their ideas of what the political future of the country could look like. Federalism has become a buzz word among a generation of young people who, until recently, were more likely to understand Federalism as a threat to the nation. Yet how deep is this unity? The political unity of the CDM has emerged in a very short space of time. Immediately before the military's actions in February, those same armed ethnic organisations that are now being lauded as heroes of the new revolution were frequently distrusted as disruptive and backwards-looking forces; the country's civilian as well as military leadership was being held accountable for genocidal actions against the Rohingya people by the International Court of Justice; populist sentiment often tipped into xenophobic outpourings in discussions of ethnic and religious equalities and rights. How deep, therefore, is the understanding of ethnic and religious minority concerns among a newly politically awakened urban youth population that now wants Federalism? If these understandings are still relatively superficial, what is required to make them deeper and more substantive? These important questions will be critical to the future of Myanmar but none of these issues is new. While the current situation is undoubtedly distinctive and has unique characteristics, it did not emerge from a vacuum of experience, and there may still be important lessons that can be drawn from situating these events in a longer timeframe. In 1988, there was a similar flow of young Burmese political activists to the border regions, where they sought support and training from ethnic armed organisations, often with poor outcomes. This seminar, therefore, seeks to understand the opportunities and challenges that exist in relation to developing shared visions of the future. Our speakers will bring unique and compelling insights into these and related issues from a range of perspectives.

Today on The Leaders' Brief - Moments before Mynamar resumed its parliament session yesterday for the first time since its elections in November last year, president Win Myint and state councillor and de facto leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi was detained by state military officials, who later declared a year-long emergency in the country. Myanmar has been battling autocracy ever since it formally gained independence in 1948.  Almost 5,000 people have been arrested in various parts of Russia for protesting against the arrest of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who was detained by state police after landing in Moscow on January 17th. Navalny's wife Yulia has, however, been released after briefly being detained. More violence is expected in the country today as a large section of Russian citizens heed to calls from Navalny's team. The United Arab Emirates has decided to amend its citizenship policies to allow citizenship benefits to select group of foreigners. The move is in variation with the UAE's citizenship policies that seldom allow naturalizations due to the number of benefits the country provides for its citizens. Interestingly, a majority of workers in the UAE are foreign nationals and do not enjoy citizenship benefits that include low taxes and reserved jobs among several other welfare benefits.  About egomonk: Website | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedInegomonk is a global intelligence platform delivering asymmetric outcomes by bringing organizations closer to the communities they want to serve and the leaders they wish to influence.

The supply far outweighs the demand for tuk-tuks in Phnom Penh and probably in Siem Reap, Cambodia as well. How do you manage the situation? It can be overwhelming to be asked several times an hour if you need a tuk-tuk. Along with motorbike taxis trolling next to you on the streets if you're not walking in the opposite direction of traffic. In this episode I go into the reasons why there are so many and some tips on how to deal with the constant tuk-tuk question. This is especially helpful if you enjoy walking, and Phnom Penh despite many uncontrolled intersections can be quite an interesting place to walk. In the episode I mentioned Khmer New Year and the Water Festival as the same thing and they are not. I called it the water festival because new year whether it's in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, or Mynamar involves throwing water at each other as a blessing and good luck for the New Year. The Water Festival is a different celebration. So for tuk-tuk rates here are a few examples. are a few examples of current rates as well for negotiating purposes.Tuk Tuk Rates from Riverside(remorques or Khmer Tuk Tuks will be on the higher side of these fares:$1.00-$1.50 for a short ride -Aeon Mall (Chamkarmorn) 2km$1.40-$1.60 Vietnam Embassy 4km$1.60-$2.00 Russian Market$4.00-$4.50 Airport(app price average for autorickshaw)$15.00 Return trip(Riverside) Killing Fields(10km each way)Thanks so much for listening. i wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2020!Support the Far East Travels Podcast by becoming a patron!

CEO of United World Schools (UWS), Tim Howarth, joins Alberto Lidji to shed light on their 200 schools in Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal and to celebrate their 2019 WISE Award for educational innovation.   UWS is one of 2019’s WISE Award Winners (World Innovation Summit for Education). They were presented a WISE Award for their innovative approach and scalable model; they have had 30,000 schoolchildren through their schools in the past 10 years; they have strong public/private partnerships; and they’re extremely focused on empowering local communities.   UWS started off as a small family charity in the UK and over the past decade has built 200 schools in communities across Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal that previously had no access to education – they embrace a model that is low cost, scalable, replicable and simple; a typical school has approximately 150-200 children and is located in remote areas of their respective countries, where local communities are often ethnic minorities that do not speak the national language. Furthermore, these communities are usually at or below the poverty line.  UWS are unequivocal in their stance: local communities need to be empowered, they need to be part of the solution and they need to be involved as new schools are built.   When asked what prompted UWS to enter and operate in Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal, Tim mentioned this was driven by a mix of strategy, fit and opportunity. They initially had connections in Cambodia, which presented a good opportunity to enter that market.  Subsequently, as they began to scale up successfully they considered what other countries might be in need of their work and that took them to Mynamar and Nepal.  Could Vietnam or other countries be next? Indeed, that may well be the case in the years to come.   Tim and the team at United World Schools have ambitions to grow, reach many more schoolchildren, expand geographically and help achieve Goal 4 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all.   Tim’s key takeaway: Be absolutely focused on delivering your mission – use it as your North Star!   Visit Lidji.org for full episode notes, guest bios and useful links.

Chika Watanabe’s Becoming One: Religion, Development, and Environmentalism in a Japanese NGO in Myanmar (University of Hawaii Press, 2019) is a rich ethnographic study of the work of a Japanese NGO called the Organization for Industrial, Spiritual and Cultural Advancement. Watanabe’s deep dive into the daily workings of OISCA explores the “moral imagination” of constructing unity based on a distinctly Japanese-marked set of ideals and practices within the confines of an unusual Japanese NGO working for decades in Mynamar. OISCA is intriguing in its own right, with roots in a postwar new religion (Ananaikyō) and connections both to right-wing politics in Japan, and with commitments both to a kind of new Shinto-derived global environmentalism and also to a Japanist/culturalist social reform agenda. Becoming One is especially significant as an object of study given not just the NGO’s unusual pedigree, but also the historical relationship between modern Japan and Burma-Myanmar and the ways in which OISCA forces us to reexamine the politics of international aid and development. Watanabe’s book is attuned to the “muddy” (dorokusai) processes of making people (hitozukuri) and constructing a shared sense of home (furusato) that animate the everyday workings of OISCA, as well as the tensions that these goals create on the ground in the training camps.

Myat The Thitsar speaks at the Southeast Asia Seminar on 9 November, 2016

Mishi Choudhary The Internet has long been identified as one of the greatest technological advancements of recent times, and has proven over the years to be a critical enabler of social and economic change. As observed by the Outcome Document of the High-Level Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on the Overall Review of the Implementation of WSIS Outcomes, ICTs including the Internet have seen penetration into almost all corners of the globe, created new opportunities for social interaction, enabled new business models, and contributed to economic growth and development in all other sectors. It was further observed that increased ICT connectivity, innovation, and access have played a critical role in enabling progress on the Millennium Development Goals. The frequent resort to Internet shut downs by the State as a mitigation and prevention strategy, mostly in the developing countries is a cause of concern. From 2013-2016, India has experienced 32 Internet shut downs for varying reasons across 10 states (http://sflc.in/internet-shutdown-tracker-india-2013-2016/). The reasons for suspension of Internet services India span an entire spectrum, ranging from disabling cheating in an exam to preventing a protest from happening during a cricket match. Apart from India, Internet shut downs have been reported in Bangladesh, Mynamar, in South Asian region; Egypt, Congo, Syria, Sudan, Burundi in the African continent; Iraq, in the Middle East, and even parts of South America, like Venezuela have experienced such this suspension of Internet services. Frequent resort to Internet shut downs by the State is tantamount to a tool for curbing dissenting opinions, restricting organization of protests, disabling authentic reporting from the areas hit by unrest or violence, and obstructing the flow of information, thereby putting a halt to the inclusive nature of the Internet. Against this backdrop,we would like to have a talk followed by discussion  to facilitate a better understanding of the causes and impacts for such shut downs, including the legal frameworks that permit such actions. This is a blanket form of censorship being practiced by democracies and not just totalitarian regimes.
