Bagan

Bagan is such a fantastic place! Lots and lots of 1000 year old Temples and it's pretty flat so it's a great place for bike riding and exploring the temples at your own pace. I only had a couple days to devote to Bagan. There are so many beautiful sites to see that a week or more (or month) would really do the area justice. I need to make a special thanks to VT Member Terrence - Ecuriosity. Without him I wouldn't have the proper names on most of my Temple photos! He has helped me indentify my photos and has helped me correct mistakes that I have made on my page! Thanks T!!!

Temples of Bagan

There are so many beautiful temples in the area and my time was so limited that I wanted to visit the more spectactular of the Temples.

    Pagoda's everywhere is right. 5000? No wonder you couldn't remember the names. Sorry about the ruined film.....that shot with the baloons sounded great..... Thanks for a great page Scott.

    What a wonderful page Scott! Sounds like a scene from out of an Asian fairy tale... will have to follow on your steps, or shall I say bike :)... do have to say though, the picture of the Ox cart with the temples in the background is my fav!

    Dang Scott, they are temples, not stair climbers. ;) The worst thing you can lose are photos, that really sucks. Hmm, wonder if I can squeeze Burma in too?
