Burma

How long were you there for?
Two and a bit weeks

What was the single highlight of your trip?
Impossible to choose just one highlight

Any lowlights/cautionary tales?
The river trip from Mandalay to Bagan was a bit chilly in the morning - and the postcard sellers in Bagan can be very persistent, although not aggressively so. I took pity on one young lad who was running along behind our pony cart and bought his cards - but another one soon appeared!

Any absolutely MUST see sights/activities?
You probably already know about them - Shewadagon Pagoda, Inle Lake leg rowers, Bagan.

Any absolutely DON'T see sights/activities?
None

If you could give one piece of advice, what would it be?
Go now! The Germans, French and Italians have been going for years, so the tourism infrastructure is already in place. You need to make sure your dollar bills are pristine or they won't change them. Higher denominations ($100) get a better rate of exchange.

Any other comments?
The people are friendly, welcoming, charming - very photogenic and pleased to have their pictures taken.
