The Road to Mandalay continuum


29th September 2017 A Tiawanese movie "The Road To Mandalay" finally gets a nationwide release in England over a year after it was initially released in its own country



30th September 2017. It's revealed on video that Boris Johnson embarassed himself by quoting lines from the Rudyard Kiplings poem The Road to Mandalay before live camera, while visiting a temple during a state visit Myanmar.




1st October 2017. A mass shooting takes place in Las Vegas from the Mandalay Bay hotel, where one man is believed to have shot 59 people dead amongst a crowd of concert goers.





2nd October 2017: I made the comments on Twitter:
  • 2 Oct 2017 : "Boris Johnson revealed to be waffling The Road to Mandalay while in Burma on one day and a mass shooting from Mandalay Bay Hotel another."
  • Oct 2017 : "Lars Von Trier is still very much alive probably because the film of a similar name that he made was actually spelt Manderlay!"
11th October 2017, I began looking further into the Mandalay business to see if anything else was happening and noticed the information about the Taiwanese movie
  • Oct 2017 "Oddly the 2016 Taiwanese movie "The Road to Mandalay" film directed by Midi Z had a British release on September the 29th of this year"

16th October 2017, Bjork takes a potshot as Lars Von Trier accusing him of sexual harrassment, and the following day, Von Trier denied the allegation. I don't wish to really say that this has anything to do with the Mandalay shootings but in a dream like way it's a bit odd

  1. I've updated the fact that the revelation about Boris Johnson's Faux Pas at Myanmar took place at the beginning of the year, but the date that the video was revealed is when we the public found out about it
