Let’s travel and meet people “Mingalaba”….. this is the greeting word in Myanmar language. I spent 16 nights on my trip there last month (March). It’s hard to tell how much I miss this country.
In the opinion of an adventure girl like me, I think sometimes when I travel without any expectation, it’s more fun than when I plan so well. I have so short time to get to know Myanmar before I really go there. So, it’s not so perfect trip when I think of places I stayed or visited in each days but experience that I’ve got is perfect. Myanmar in my opinion is like a blind date which I’m so clicked with this place so much. There’re not so many people visiting there because of their own reasons and many others.
When I’m just a few of tourist there, I don’t feel so different from when Julia Robert is watched by paparazzi. It’s so hard to guess by looking at their face about how they feel to see me as an Asian woman who really look like Myanmar girl but backpack and travel in this country. I have to say “Hello” to them to let them clear in mind that I’m not Myanmar but just a tourist. After they hear my voice, I almost see all teeth in their mouth because they smile a lot to me.
Some of the way of life in Myanmar, is so similar like Thailand such as the religion, belief, manner and some food but if I didn’t go there, I still wouldn’t have had a wider vision and more appreciated in my living life after I return home.
One day, I found myself sitting in the old wooden house in the small village. Everyone who sat surround me, were all my strangers and talks in Myanmar language. One of the leader from this house who is the old lady like my grandmother, gave me a massage with the price of about 2 US$/hour and after those relaxation hour, we become to be friend and they let me record this memory into my Myanmar trip forever.
They served me with hot Chinese tea from the antique teapot with some little rust on the top. We don’t talk in the same language but hands only. However, the good feeling of our relationship doesn’t make us feel that it’s a problem at all. We’re so different but we know that we like each other so much with a hugging and kissing on my Myanmar grandmother’s cheek. I left them with our good memory.
They’re people who I know that I’ll never met them again in my life if I never return to them. I really agree with many of traveler’s opinion that part of the traveling ‘people’ is probably the highlight of your memory. Even though you will not have chance to see them again but you always see them in your mind when you think of that country.
If you don’t want to go there in Myanmar, please try to come to see the same in Thailand, my country. I don’t have chance a lot to travel. So, I don’t know if there’re anywhere in the world has such a friendly people like my country or not. They’re so simple, easy to smile and sometimes shy when they meet the foreigner.

Oh well, just telling you from me is not enough to believe, you better come here and write to me if you have any question about my city. See you !!!! .

| | As You Travel Through Life? As you travel through life there are always those times
When decisions just have to be made,
When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,
And the rain seems to soak your parade.
There are some situations where all you can do
Is simply let go and move on,
Gather your courage and choose a direction
That carries you toward a new dawn.
So pack up your troubles and take a step forward -
The process of change can be tough,
But think about all the excitement ahead
There might be adventures you never imagined
Just waiting around the next bend,
And wishes and dreams just about to come true
In ways you can't yet comprehend!
Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things
As you challenge your status quo,
And learn there are so many options in life,
Perhaps you'll go places you never expected
And see things that you've never seen,
Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
And wonderful spots in between!
Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring
And somebody special who's there
To help you stay cantered and listen with interest
To stories and feelings you share.
Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends
Are supportive of all that you do,
And believe that whatever decisions you make,
They'll be the right choices for you.
So keep putting one foot in front of the other,
And taking your life day by day...
There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road -
Don't look back! You're not going that way!

Love is all around I'm glad to born in very warm family. They give me a lot of oppotunities as education, thought and the way of living.
I'd like to say Thanks to all of you who make my bright day.
Thank you for all love you give to me. I love you too.
For my dearest father, mother, younger sister and younger brother | | |

Life is not as smooth as silk,
but it sometimes rough - just like sitting on the James bond boat!!
but whether it's rough or smooth, I never lose my smile.

enjoy your journey

smile and have fun with it.
