- Kawthaung is the southernmost border cross between Thailand and Myanmar, crossing the Kra River, I found myself knee-deep in chai.

- The ancient capitol of Myanmar. Long the object of my fantasies, Mandalay has a certain mystique that permeates everything we see and do.

- Yangon (Rangoon), the ex-capitol of Myanmar, is a mixture of old and new, dilapidated and refurbished. It is unique, exciting, and fascinating.

- Myanmar is a kind of magical place in our collective memory, maybe due to the excellent novel by Orwell, or maybe due to the postcard nature of blue and gold pagodas half-hidden in the exuberant greenery. In any case few will resist the temptation of visiting it.

- It was a journey into an unknown land. The locals are kind Buddhist souls who perserve this quiet Asian land. The problem is that the current government controls the people under a strict military rule. Read up on Myanmar before entering this enchanted land.

- Mandalay! 19th-century capital of the land once called "Burma". Neighbor to Amarapura, "City of Immortality".

The road to Mandalay begins in Yangon, City of the Golden Pagodas. Reading Kipling's poem, I HAD to take it.

- This little-visited (for various reasons!) country is the cultural bridge between South-east Asia & the Indian Sub-Continent. Ethnically diverse, outrageously friendly people & a rural countryside almost lost in the past make Myanmar a fascinating place to visit.
