I'm Back

After a straight 2 weeks of ICT and a 7 days Myanmar tour, im finally back in comfort. Nowhere is like home and i seriously miss my home for the first time.
 This trip was a little tiring for me. We flew a total of 7 times during this short trip and ended the last one with a 6hrs transit at KLCC. However, i must say that Myanmar is a nice country to travel to.
With a little resemblance of Vietnam and Indonesia, this country has one of the kindest people that i have ever met.
The first impression came from the country's airport. Given that its a Communist country, the perception of arriving at the immigration would be a negative one. However, i was impressed with the reception of the immigration officer. They were much friendlier than those i met at KLCC.
 It could be due to its religion, Buddhism, most of the people there are helpful and kind. I was also glad that i met Chan there which was one of my worries as our money was with her. She played a great host by settling us well in our day 1.

Yangon was bustling with activities, the traffic was quite bad. We didnt stay too long at Yangon before departing for Bagan where the Stupors were.
We felt like indiana Jones in Bagan, everywhere is stupors.

The highlight of this trip i would say is Inle Lake at Heho. Its one of the most amazing place that i have traveled to for this trip. I was never tired of the boat ride and the scenic views of the lake. Despite taking alot of the lake shots, i still cannot resist shuttering off my precious negative each time i travel on the lake.
Im still trying to recover from this trip and spending a little time to develop and sort out the pictures.
