Myanmar: India collides with Southeast Asia

The country formerly known as Burma was like nothing I’ve ever experience and yet freakishly similar to everything I’ve experienced here in Southeast Asia… all at once.

I’ve never been to a country in the tourist trail is so completely laid out. It wasn’t until I successfully bypassed a part of it, skipped having to buy a plane ticket, and went out on my own that I had fun.

I felt a bit like an anthropologists by noticing the physical differences between the different types of people in Myanmar.

Yangon to Bagan to Mandalay to Hsipaw to Inle Lake and back to Yagon.

It was good and worth it.
