One new and kind of weird thing I have had to learn this trip was the ability to do boot sizes in both the Thai and Burmese language. I sorta half knew the Thai words but had to learn the Burmese. I speak Burmese sizes with the dump families and Thai sizes with he boot shop in Mae Sot. The lady at the shop gives me a discount because I buy from her everyday and maybe because the boots are for the families at the dump.
So in the dump I speak Burmese "Dah-Say Gweah" (10 1/2) at the Mae Sot store I speak Thai "Sip Krueng" (10 1/2). I still need to learn the Burmese word for boot. I learned stand up and sit down yesterday (important for portraits).
