From Rangoon to Mandalay
About this blog
Call it Burma or call it Myanmar, it is by any name one of the most fascinating places I have visited. My first encounter was with a girl on the small Air Mandalay propeller plane over to Rangoon from Chiang Mai. She was from Kachin state in the north of the country and after our short conversation she was inviting me to her house in Rangoon for dinner that weekend. These king of random acts of generosity and kindness were so frequent during my stay in Burma and these are the memories that for me were undoubtedly the strongest. Yes there are temples and places like Bagan that should not be missed. However, having missed them for a deeper look at local life I can say that I would not change a thing about the trip - besides, I will be back.
