You have a very nice Burma page. Full of personal experiences which I like. Thanks for Sharing. I hope to do the border crossing here one day.
Well, Ken, it was my next major trip, and i loved it. Revisiting your pages has brought nostalgic pangs, and I've only left the place a month ago! Are you heading back anytime soon? fergy.
Ahhh, absolutely intriguing and amazing place. I hope I can spend some time here someday...from the *other* Gwyneth. :-))
Burma looks so gold filled! The mysterious balanced boulder with Buddha's hair keeping it in place is fascinating. Greetings from Australia and me.
Nice stories from Burma ;) ... *gasp!* u think i only do the luxury 5 star weekender trips..!!! hmmm... don't think u're quite reading my pages rightly! *lol*
Truly fascinating pages! My grandfather traces his lineage back to Burma, so these pages were quite wonderful for me to go through. Atmospheric words & gorgeous pics :) Cheers...
Lucky you! such an impressive travel log, great photos, great stories and tips - how do you find the time? :o)
Very well done pages. I look forward to your Bagan page, it is my favorite place in Myanmar. Thanks for sharing!
