My love affair with Myanmar
... love the country so? Burmese PEOPLE, that's why. The men in their skirt-like longyis, the women with their faces painted with ground thanaka tree bark, and the both of them greeting us everywhere we went with big warm blood-red-mouthed smiles (many chew betel nut which turns their mouths the “lovely?” crimson color). It was apparent on day one in the country, when the locals hailed us so--with these giant grins and thumbs' up signs, rather than the typical ...
Back to Bangkok...
... the temple with the giant led down Buddha and the Royal Palace complex which houses the Emerald Buddha.

Cabs can’t drive down the road of the hotel so he dumped us out at the top of a very chaotic ...
Bangkok LadyBoys!
... While her beauty may be artificially achieved, she's clearly a natural performer, not a freak-show. Unlike in the real world where, even in tolerant Thailand, many ladyboys encounter hardship and prejudice on a daily basis, up on stage she's a woman in control of her destiny, with dignity.
And it gets better. When she leaves, the show commences a breathless romp through different aspect of the female persona. No womanly trait is ...
