Innwa

Hi,

This one is about the city "Innwa" from the story "Innwa" by "Theik Pan Maung Wa". I just wanted to make a posting about the title because no one knows about the city and how powerful our country was during that dynasty reign. It was the capital city of Myanmar during 1364-1841. The Burmese rule expaned to Thai in the east a part of Bingaladish and even a part of Yunaan of China. Well, the following explanations are more precise.I think knowing about the city history would help us all understand more of the writer's opinions in the story.

"Innwa (Burmese: ; MLCTS: ang: wa. mrui.; formerly Ava) is a city in the Mandalay Division of Myanmar, situated just to the south of Amarapura on the Ayeyarwady River. It is also called Ratanapura, which means City of Gems in Pali. The name Innwa means mouth of the lake, which comes from in , meaning lake, and wa , which means mouth."
