On seeing me all red faced while huffing and puffing and covered in sweat today an older grand motherly women looked at me and said "Mod-Day?". I had heard this Burmese term before but never quite understood it. Later on I asked JKhun Noy (my Thai driver) To translate, he said it meant "Noo-Iye" which is the Thai word for TIRED-EXHAUSTED.
So basically a much older and in better shape non huffing or puffing Burmese grand ma took pity on me today. She probably thought I was going to collapse with exhausion right in front of her while foaming at the mouth. Hope I did not frighten her too much.
