In Myanmar, they say there are eight days of the week.  Wednesday is divided into two, I’m not really sure why.  I thought Kaka or someone said it was because Buddha was born on a Wednesday, but reading here, it seems to be for another reason.  Anyway, the day you were born is very important there, and at all the Buddhist places people put money and pray at certain places based on the day they were born.  The animal in this picture is a garuda, which is the symbol for my and Kaka’s birthday, Sunday.  Thought that was pretty cool.
