... 3 for non-clients). I read and Bill chatted with an older couple from Vancouver. An older American lady told us that she is running out of money and is going to try to get to China by land. Bill does not think this is possible... After lunch we had a laquerware demonstration. It is a multistep process with drying time between each step. Some of the laquerware are made from bamboo only, bamboo and cotton or horse hair. The good quality has 14 coats and will not chip. He ...

... as it is, it would be on every tourist's itinerary. I agree, as for me it isn't the individual pagodas and stupas themselves but the endless backdrop the 1700 temples provide. Checked in at the Hotel @ Tharabar Gate which is great. Lovely gardens, good pool and large and spacious rooms for only $100 a night. Had a very pleasant dinner by the pool but sadly the hotel was pretty empty thanks to the global recession and Burma's own problems.

... Empire impresses me with their vivid, colourful murals on the walls inside some temples and building of numerous temples across the plains of Bagan. Amongst the numerous temples, I'm most impressed with the murals of Ananda Ok Kyang that display such rich reds, greens and blues of intricate drawings portraying the everyday lives of Burmese, their mythical gods and Buddhism. It's a pity no picture-taking of the interior of the temple is ...

... nothing compares. Although others are bigger, or more famous, or more ornate, the combination of the place, the people, and the fact that we were just about the only ones there, really makes these stand out as a ruin experience. The standout experience in Jeff's opinion was shwee sup daw, another one of the big multi-terraced ones that you are allowed to climb and hence, a very popular sunset option. Very popular indeed as it was somewhat filled with Burmese tourists and young girls ...

Ah.....we finally made it to Bagan. And the first thing I noticed was it was just as hot and dusty here as it was in Pakokku. Damn! We mostly puttered about on our arrival day as it was really hot and we hadn't slept that much the night before. We were feeling pretty lucky though as the electricity worked for most of the day which meant we had air-con for a change. (The government really is sporadic as to when it allows electricity to flow) Day two we tootled about the town a bit ...

What a place - one of our highlights of the Burma leg. Most travellers come here by boat from Mandalay, but given the very few tourists around, its pretty infrequent. So, we thought we'd mix it up a bit and go by.....local bus. Shocking road, but ...

... these issues are, it is also what makes this place so special. It's not too often when visiting major tourist sites within a country that there are no other visitors in sight. This place truly is the way other parts of Asia used to be many years ago. A couple of days later I realized just how much my Turkish shaving cream resembles my Vietnamese toothpaste. I guess I would prefer ...
