The story behind our name

True love doesn’t have a happy ending, because true love doesn’t end.

A British girl named Anika came to Pyin Oo Lwin to retrace her grandfather’s footsteps — and found the love of her life in a local man named Khin. Her parents disapproved, and she was forced to leave the country. Khin spent his whole life waiting for her.
