The team at Three Pagodas Pass, a spot on the border with Myanmar. This is the border, itself, where we are standing.
Staning with a foot in Myanmar and the rest of me in Thailand. Although Myanmar is a cruelly repressive state, it is not actually that hard to cross the border, you just have to return the same day and not venture too far into the country. We didn't do that, but I still can at least say I was in Burma while I was here!
Monkin' around.
On the way back, the team stopped at Bpreu Nong Church, a church we support financially at Immanuel. Bpreu Nong has about thrity believers, several of whom were there to greet us when we arrived. They treatedus to a fun and unusual dinner. Groups of four or five were given two clay pots stacked on each other. The bottom one held glwoing coals and the top held broth. On the ground in front of us was a collection of meats (pork, beef liver, and chicken), noodles, and vegetables. You put whatever you want into the pot and let it boil until done. Similar to sukyaki and sort of like an Asian fondue.
This IS rhe church. Clear the food awy, put out some chairs and you have it. Clockwise from bottom left: Ah Jan Winit's brother, the pastor at Bpreu Non, Ah Jan Vee, Oat, me, Ah Jan Winit. Good eats!
