ビルマと日本との間で時々、メールのやりとりをしてる。相手のビルマ人は、ビルマ国内でビルマ語を使うのと全く同じように、話し言葉では「ビルマ」を使うが、書き言葉では「ミャンマー」を使っている。内容はもっぱら、お互いの近況を伝えあう程度。なんら政治的なモノは、全くない。だが、毎日の生活を伝えることはすなわち、政治にかかわることなんだなあと痛感させられる。話題の中心はいつも、この国の将来について悲観するところに行きつく。

私は返答した。 But I think that you are now in the meditation center. When
you do read this message, you are out of the center,right? So...welcome
back to the REAL world.
