Travels in Myanmar

I traveled to Myanmar in December 2009 with Tanja, a writer, film maker living in Phnom Phen. We had intended to avoid the 'Festive Season' together and distance ourselves lovingly from family and friends through the lack of internet. Of course that proved impossible, phone cards and internet cafes kept us in touch while an invitation from a generous general manager ensured we would celebrate Christmas Eve in great Mandalay style. The people of Myanmar are amongst the most open and friendly on earth and what ever your opinion on how their country is run they, the people of Myanmar, are worthy of any support we can give them.
