Tea Circle will take a break over Thingyan.

As we all prepare to welcome Thagya Min to earth and wait to find out whether he will write our names in the golden book or the dog book, Tea Circle will also take a brief hiatus during the Thingyan holiday.

When we return, in addition to our regular posts, we will be running a series of “Year in Review” posts throughout late April and May. These will reflect on the developments in many different areas, including politics, technology, education, arts, media, and other fields.

We would also like to thank all of our contributors and readers from this last year. Tea Circle has grown significantly since we started and we are gratified to see that so many of our readers and contributors are coming from Myanmar. We look forward to continuing to provide interesting and insightful commentary in the coming year.

So, whether you are preparing to enter the monastery, cooking mont let saung, strategizing for throwing water (no ice water please!), or just enjoying time with family and friends, we wish you peace and happiness for the coming year.

Tea Circle was established in November 2015 as a forum for new and emerging perspectives on Burma/Myanmar during its current period of political and economic transition. It highlights analysis, research, opinions, book reviews, multimedia, and other types of submissions from a global audience of contributors. Tea Circle is run by dedicated volunteer editors and is particularly focused on creating opportunities for contributors from Myanmar.
