Burmese Dinner

Yesterday we were invited to one of the doctor's house for dinner in honor of her birthday. This couple is from Burma (a country currently known as Myanmar), and they live on Ebeye not far from the hospital. The food was amazing and there was way too much of it, so we got quite a few leftovers boxed for us, as the hosts wouldn't leave anything on the table. A younger woman on this picture is their neighbor.
She's also Burmese and her name is Ei Ei. On Ebeye residents of lagoon side and ocean side get electricity for 4 hour periods only and take turns. On this picture you can see how as soon as the light bulb starts shining, Ei Ei hurries inside her house to make the best use of the 6pm-10pm power window. During the World Cup, people here could watch the interrupted AFN (American Forces Network) signal from Kwaj. Due to the power situation, they would have to watch one half of the game at someone's lagoon side house, and then relocate to the neighbor's ocean side house for the second half.
