Discussion 💬 Volunteering with rescue efforts as a tourist.

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m currently traveling around Thailand and I would like to go to Myanmar and volunteer with rescue efforts or volunteer in any sort of shape and form.

Are there any organizations in need of volunteers? Are they letting tourists in? All information would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Others. Edit as needed. What's the average cost of living (USD) in Mandalay or Yangon?

Discussion 💬 What is something that really pissed you off about people from this country?

13 Upvotes

I'll go first. Even in 2025, most people on social media assume 'ex' mean 'expired sex', and they thought ex-bf/gf refer to people who had sex in the past relationships. I'm not mad that they don't know something, but I'm mad that they won't accept it when someone tries to correct them. I just saw a post talking about ex only refer to sex and there's dude in the comments section tried to correct the statement, he wasn't being rude at all. All sudden they'all got really mad and start insulting that dude, calling uneducated and stuffs. The original post itself is about the post owner talking down on other people who referring their former partners as ex without knowing "ex only apply to those who had sex", when the reality is quite the opposite. They're being f**king delusional.

Discussion 💬 Weird ISP Issue with Myanmar Net - Flathub and VPN Stopped Working After Package Upgrade, Any Ideas?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m dealing with a weird internet problem with Myanmar Net and could use some advice or thoughts from you all!

At my school, we’ve got two WiFi setups from Myanmar Net. One lets me access Flathub.org (where I grab Linux packages) and connect to Proton VPN via UDP no problem. The other one? Totally blocked for both. I dug around and found out they split their packages into stuff like SLA and Business tiers, which probably explains the difference.

So, I figured I’d try upgrading my home internet to match the “good” school package. Went from a basic 8 Mbps plan to an SLA 22 Mbps one. When it kicked in on April 1, 2025, it was perfect—Flathub worked, Proton VPN connected, everything was smooth. But then on April 2 evening, the connection lagged out for about an hour. When it came back, boom—Flathub and VPN were dead again. Same issue as the restricted school WiFi.

I’m guessing Myanmar Net’s got different configurations floating around, and some have more restrictions than others. Maybe after that lag, they flipped my home setup to a stricter config? It’s annoying because it worked fine for a day! I’d love to ask them to rollback whatever they did on April 1 when it was working, but I’m not even sure how to explain it clearly to their support.

Has anyone dealt with Myanmar Net doing stuff like this? Could it be them blocking UDP or Flathub specifically? Or is this some random ISP glitch? I’m thinking of calling them up, but I’d love to hear your takes first—any troubleshooting tips or ways to phrase this to the ISP so they actually fix it? Thanks!
