Very interesting trip
Michael,
I’ve heard of Myanmar only through reading about it in the news a little over a decade ago. What was so amazing was twin boys, 12 year old lead the take over of the Myanmar's Embassy in Bangkok.
The people must have been very oppressed but creatively determined not to have their female children taken away by scarring their beautiful faces. This helps me to better understand how these two young boys could rise in rebellion to become such strong leaders; they did what they had to do!
Here is a reference to the Myanmar twins.
Magan woman in Myanmar,
Beginning of this year, I travelled to Myanmar( Birma) to visit the Magan women in the Chin state, this is the state next to India. After arriving in Bagan, the place with more then 3000 tempel's and Pagoda's, the view is just stunning, especialy the suns...
How is the lodging...
