A Myanmar Mystery?

The sunset as we pulled to the dock in Myanmar


We just docked in Myanmar, and the sunset tonight was gorgeous. The sun set over a backdrop of palm trees, marshlands, and a few pagodas in the city of Yangon. It is almost 7pm here, but we are not allowed to get off the ship tonight. Immigration is going to take a while to clear us, so we will be able to get off at 6am tomorrow. I leave for the ancient city of Bagan at 2pm tomorrow for 4 days, and then the rest of my time will be spent in the capital of Yangon.

Where is Myanmar you ask? Sandwiched between Thailand and India, right below China. Formerly known as Burma, the country is mainly a Buddhist country with the ruling party being a military junta. To research the history of Myanmar, search online for some articles. My bet is you will find some interesting stuff that is unable to be posted in my blog…..

So long for now, hope all is going well in the states. Don’t expect any phone calls from this country…
