<ビルマ(ミャンマー)情報>

231-02/365 Myanmar/Burma and Thailand border

Today 16 years ago (Aug. 20th, 2007)
The then Khun Yuam World War II Museum at Mae Hong Song in Thailand.
(cf. the present museum in 2022)

16年前の今日(2007年8月20日)
メーホンソンに建つ旧タイ日友好記念館(クンユアム第二次世界大戦戦争博物館)/(18°49'49.8"N 97°55'58.7"E)

ちなみに2022年に再訪すると、戦争博物館というよりも、地元Taiの歴史や社会の紹介がメインになっていました。
メソットやメーサリアンをを訪問する人はいるが、ここまで足をのばす人は、ほんと希ですね。
はい。

I’d bet a house Brendan Nelson has a stiffy at this moment. Militarism is a weird fetish for Tories.

I thinks it’s stunning. You can’t picture several million deaths;he serves for them all
RT @StroudStory: Here's the to Edward Horner, d. 1917, by Edwin Lutyens, sculpture by Alfred Munnings, in Mells, . It's a very fine thing, but, I feel, too much in this little parish church. What about the rest of the dead? Also, weirdly not life-size! t.co/CxqIujWDxD

Here’s a summer road trip to add to the list. 🏄 🚙 🦘🌊 🏊‍♀️

The ‘Great Ocean Road’ is it one of Victoria’s, indeed Australia’s, most well known international tourist attractions, dotted as it is with beautiful surf & swimming beaches, but you may be surprised to know, the road itself constitutes Australia’s longest War Memorial. In episode 56 we talk about how the construction came about.

Good evening. Here's a thing. Perhaps a less common view of the Australian War Memorial.

The statue on the top is a stylised representation of Dolores Ibarruri, who died in 1989, who was known as 'La Pasionaria' because of her rousing speeches against fascism. The most famous of these was her "No pasaran" ("they shall not pass") speech in 1936.

La Pasionaria, Clyde Street, Glasgow. Erected in 1979, this is a memorial to the members of the International Brigade who travelled to Spain in the 1930s to fight against fascism in the Spanish Civil War.

Below the statue, it says "It is better to die on your feet than live forever on your knees", something we do with remembering even to this day.

"Together" | Light Trails

This didn't work out quite how I expected, but I like it. [Got slightly dizzy walking around in circles.]

I like both the colour pop and the full colour versions. Do you have a preference?
