      1st didn't complete her contract cos \"grandma had cancer and wanted to see her fave granddaughter marry before she died\" how true was that i don't know. But yes they are extremely stubborn, unable to take criticism and can suddenly give you a heart attack by announcing out of the that they are unhappy or \"family problem\" and need to return home at the urging of their family even if that means to buy their own air ticket. Burmese are very very proud people.
      No wonder when i checked thru those ex-singapore bio datas, most of the myanmars did not finished their 2 yrs contract. I almost wanted to get a ex-s'pore but shocked to find out that she has changed 7 employers during her 3 yrs here and now she's back to work again with her 8th employer !

      Now i'm trying new Mizo maid. Been with me for a week and surprisingly she understands eng better than my previous indo maid.

            moonee, previously when I had problem communicating with my ex-burmese maid, I use to draw out the picture and show her. That way she understands better.

              They r Fr north eastern India n they r brown like indo. My friend recommended me as she has one who has b working with her for 6 mths. She commented that she is more obedient than her ex indo/Burmese maid. So I just tried since their salary is lower.

                        Now maids salary increased so much so i don't mind trying a new nationality since i receive good comment from my friend and their salary is the lowest among all other nationality.

                        Yes they can eat pork. They're not Muslim. 95% of Mizo maids are Christian.
