Blonde Burmese teak
About 26 years ago I was motoring on the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar conducting geologic field work. We passed a small boat anchored with a man on board furiously pumping what looked to be a bicycle tire pump. We were told a diver was down trying to salvage large teak logs that had become water logged and sunk. I took another bite of delicious banana leaf wrapped sticky rice and pondered how difficult life can be.
