Burma : impressions In general : wonderful people, so sweet, honest , and profoundly religious, in every aspect of their daily life . And they are always smiling and ready to help. The country has huge potential. 2,800 kilometers of beaches on the Indian ocean and 5 snow -covered mountains over 5,000 meters high., in front of the himalayas. 1. Yangon : huge, green, busy, absolute traffic-jammed, zero motorbikes and splendid old decayed English mansions on inya road . The old lady is getting a serious facelift. 2. inle lake : cool, pristine, zillions of tomatoes growing on floating gardens . A Venice in the hills of the Shan state , waterworld with a switzerland feeling . 3. Bagan : mind-blowing , Angkor level of beauty, the light there is unreal . Hot, dusty but sooooo holy that you understand why Unesco needs to move in fast. The light of bagan is unique. 4. Mandalay ; business machine, modern, hectic, the beauty is out of the city, and water is omnipresent. The food sucks . Escape to maymyo for a day, the hilltop summer residence of the British invaders and Burma army warlords. In brief, the burmese sleeping beauty is still chewing betel and spitting red lava, buried in layers of thanaka, but once she gets the message out that she is the last virgin, there will be hordes of pretenders on her door. The next big thing in SEA tourism.
