As I mentioned in the video tour of my neighborhood, the monastery
half a block from my place is the center of this corner of the Hledan
Market community. Every morning at 7 AM, they play music and prayers
over their substantial sound system, which I don't mind as I'm
usually up earlier than that. Today though, their sound system
reached new levels at the hands of a skilled deejay. The bass
rattled my windows. Made the floor shake. I couldn't really do any
of my audio/video editing stuff I've been doing all day today. So, I
went next door, grabbed the neighbor kid who waters my plants and
said, “you, you're going to be my cameraman!” and headed off to
the monastery.
Sure enough, there was a stage set up, from which I'm going to hear more of later tonight. I walked up on stage and asked for a mic. If you can't beat em, join em!

Hilarious. Now some Burmese dude is sitting in his apartment trying to edit his video blog complaining about some strange American down the street with his ukulele music echoing through his closed windows. That's a fine example of can't beat 'em, join 'em as I've ever seen! lol
