How can I break my "unlucky streak"

How can I break my "unlucky streak"?
However, I'm not as unlucky as some of those poor folks in China and Myanmar. However, I might just as well be one of them. Lately (for the past 4 weeks) my paycheck has been screwed up and amounting to about $ 22/week. Right now, I've got about 40 cents to live with till Friday. How can I break this bad luck (I'm still working with my payroll office on this...) without breaking any laws or committing any sins? Any suggestions? I can't even afford a hot dog.

Friends and relatives? They don't have to give you money but they could help you to at least get something to eat. We had some really bad luck once. I was pregnant with our second child and was experiencing serious complications. My husband had to stay at home from work to help me with our youngest child more and more often. For Christmas he got a pay check that said -500â‚¬, minus, they wanted us to pay them. All our savings had already been used to pay the bills. We had nothing. We were too proud to ask for help and we sold things to get money, things that we loved and sometimes even needed. It was a nightmare that seemed to have no end. So, why tell you that? Because later on I learned that our friends and relatives would have helped had they only know what was going on. They would have given us basic food to get us something to eat. Some would have lent us money others would have given us money. Others would have helped me with our youngest child so that my husband could have worked. ... but we never told and they never got a chance to help us. Don't you have anyone to talk to? If you don't have anyone that can help then maybe you can sell something or take short term odd jobs to make some extra cash. If you are religious your church might have some odd jobs that they can pay you to do. Churches often look after people in such ways.

I guess you need to be careful of water and mosquitoes in all these countries and try to eat fresh. I went couple of these countries. I did not need any vaccination. Use mosquito net and drink good brand bottled water or boiled water. Good luck

I recommend netdoctor.co.uk, but from experience the standard set of travel vaccines that everyone should have, and you should definitely have for these places, are: typhoid diphtheria polio hep A whooping cough measles you may have had these as a kid but check up - get to the doctor quick as the jabs take time to work. you also need malaria tablets for Laos, Cambodia and parts of Thailand - that's a whole subject in itself so ask the doctor. And you need to take precautions against dengue for which there is no vaccine or treatment, so you need plenty of insect repellent (wear it 24/7, the dengue mosquito bites during the day and the other types at night) and suitable cover up clothing. and finally, travel insurance which includes medevac home. happy travels. :-)

Living in the U.S., is there a way to write to country under a military dictatorship

Living in the U.S., is there a way to write to country under a military dictatorship?
The country I'm trying to write to is Burma or Myanmar. Is there any precautions I must take? How long will the mail take to arrive? Can I even send mail to the country?

Of course you can send mail to Burma. Hell, you can send mail to Iran if you want. International mail delivery is regulated by the International Postal Union, and every country on the planet is a member. That said, there is censorship of the mail in Burma. It can be dangerous for a Burmese person to receive ANY mail or packages from abroad, no matter what the contents.

Sure, you can send a letter there. Just write it, put it in an envelope, address the envelope, put 98 cents postage on it, and it'll get there. I'd guess it would get there in a week, maybe longer.

What should we do to get Karenni people out of concentration camps as quick as possible

What should we do to get Karenni people out of concentration camps as quick as possible?
For decades, Karenni people have been living in very restricted Refugee camps in Western Thailand after fleeing persecution, threat, and human rights abuses of central government's manipulation. Briefly, Karenni has it own state, people, political ideology, self-determination, peace, rich natural resources, and many different kinds of useful materials. According to many experts, Central Government SLORC is eager to controlling all other minorities, because of the facts that minorities are rich in materials. As larger groups of populations, SLORC has been able to attack all opponents out of the country, Burma. Karenni is one of the seven minorities that has it own again literature, government, history, and party, which is called KNPP ( Karenni National Progressive Party). Martyr day, National day, Army day, Resistance day are big parts of KNPP's movements. Currently more than 23,000 Karenni populations are living in the two camps.

I wish I had an answer for you and those people. It's hard to believe that people are living in those types of places today.
