  • Village on the shore

    Village on the shore

    Somewhere between Mandalay and Bagan The cruise included a stop on the shore to visit a local village. The population is basically farmers. They earn a little extra by selling straw hats.

    Mandalay to Bagan sunrise cruise

    Traveling on the Ayeyarwady river from Mandalay to Bagan is one of the tours in Myanmar that I found really worth the money. Even though the boat trip costs about 55 US dollars. I found it to be worth every cent. We were picked up by a very polite and friendly Burmese taxi driver at…

  • At the olympic stadium swimming pool

    At the olympic stadium swimming pool

    Today i roamed the riverside with no special destination when I came across what appeared to be an olympic village. The complex was built for the 1963 south-east asian games but was never used as the political situation back then did not allow the games to take place. I found access to the swimming pool area…
