Yangon: Nuns, Streets, and Shoes

July 8, 2019 by Kee Hinckley No Comments
Young Nuns

The are young girls who are staying with the nuns (probably to get an education, or maybe because their parents can’t support them). Like the monks, they go out to collect donations and food every day.

Note the diesel generator in the distance. Many buildings have them for when the power cuts out, which can happen several times a day. Between that, and the removable concrete caps for the drains that most side walks have, and the businesses (phone stores, food vendors with tables, nut vendors, betel nut venders…) on the side streets, it’s often easier to walk in the roads, especially on the smaller streets.

There’s a bit of sunlight in this photo, but it comes and goes. It’s the beginning of rainy season, which means that every day comes with occasional drizzle and periodic downpours (and we’re talking “the heavens open up and throw out the bathwater” downpours) that may last anywhere from five minutes to half an hour. Combine that with the drains and everything else, and obviously the street and sidewalks can get ripe.

Street Vendors

Most everyone wears flip-flops or sandals. You take them off when you enter a residence (and then promptly rinse your feet in the bathroom). Some restaurants that have a second floor have you take them off there as well. So imagine my surprise yesterday at a cafe when I noticed a white guy in his 30’s who got up to check the wifi password and was barefoot. I figured maybe he just had his sandals under his table, and didn’t think too much about it, but later I spotted him on the street. Nope. No shoes at all. Never mind the social issues, this is not a country where I would recommend anyone walking around barefoot if they don’t have too. 🤷‍♂️

One of the many views of the camp

January 29, 2018 by Kee Hinckley No Comments
One of the many views of the camp. Most of the time, no matter how high you climbed on the hillside, you couldn’t see the end. The man in yellow is our interpreter Faisal, a Rohingya who escaped Myanmar with his family in 1978 when he was 5. This is Thaing Khali camp. Almost everything you see here was built after August 25th.Shireen Hinckley

Rohingya children in Tajimul Khola and Kutupalong Refugee Camps.

January 26, 2018 by Kee Hinckley 1 Comment

annadobos: Rohingya children in Tajimul Khola and Kutupalong Refugee Camps. According to various sources, a deal has been signed to send them back to Rakhine State and will go into effect on the 23rd of this month, after which there will be no more access to information on the subject. I didn’t set out to shoot kids but there were just so many, something like half the camp is kids, many of them orphans whose homes had been burned to the ground by government forces. We’re spending the next 10 days here talking with people about repatriation for @somewherefilms 〰️

So devs.
What restrictions does your company put on your dev env? Which are real, and which aren't enforced? Private devices. Managed devices. Use of privately purchased software. Use of open source software. Which apps can access mail/calendar/contacts…
How does that work?
