The travels I am writing about are mostly what I took long ago, round about 1990s when I was working as the principle of BEHS 2.It usually would be during Christmas ,or early summer holidays. Once we chose to go to Mogok,the famous ruby producing town.Beside that Mogok was a place we hadn't been ,there was another reason that we chose to visit it.Our niece Nang Ku's ( Mya Win May )family was doing mining in Mogok and as their house is in Mandalay we had no problem of staying for the nights, either in Mandalay or Mogok.
So as usual we gathered people who would be going with us, relatives and friends. Most were relatives, including Nang Ku's parents and relatives who came down from Kunhing. I didn't remember well ,but I thought we travelled in two cars.The road from Taunggyi to Mandalay is 210 miles and smooth ,so we reached Mandalay before dusk fell and drove right to Nang Ku's house which is on the Mandalay Sagaing Road.
