an international student from Myanmar in Boston
----
In the best of days, I can be found reading a random political book and talking to you about it. In the worst of days (of procrastination), I will probably still make a decent egg sandwich and probably more as hunger ranks above my level of procrastination.

I am quite the thrifter so I am cheap but I am cheap wisely. I try to stay up to date with the best deals and the best free things to do wherever I am.

I come from Myanmar, a country in South East Asia famous for its' notoriety. However, as long as you are not a government spy, feel free to talk politics as I am always eager to share my ever changing opinions on the hot-shots of politics in SEAsia. Please also teach me about politics from your own countries. I love to learn from other countries mistakes and apply that to my own political philosophy.

I usually study in Tufts University, a small uni in Boston, Massachusetts. Its a snowy but warm place full of people I am missing deeply as a study abroad student. I take International Relations with 2 minors in econ and colonialismsssss. I was in Ghana and London for last two semesters and the similarities/references to my own country were honestly mind-blowing at times. Gave me a different view of politics from the US
