Slow Awakening after 2 weeks in Burma...
How wonderful and unexpected surprise!
When you see so many fantastic treasures, your face can't fight having this stupid expression: mesmerizing.
Yes, Burma has totally mesmerized me...
I have travelled a lot through South East Asian countries: Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia... No country has been on an equal footing.
Burma has something different, something exciting...
So far from Thailand tourist driven atmosphere, light years away from Vietnam's craziness; Burma still preserves its naive and modest, i would say even chaste beauty.
Everything seems intact, everything seems untouched like you are an adventurer who just discovered another promise land....
WAOW!
That was the only word i could say when I stand up at the top of a mountain during my trek from Kalow to Inlay Lake.
It was the same unresting word I pronounced when I spent two days in Inlay Lake
WAOW!
was the first sound I whispered when I arrived in the old city of Bagan.
It's the only thing I've managed to say in front of the magnificence of Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon.
Warm population,
Astonishing natural landscapes
Oceans of temples...
WAOW! is the only word I can think of to describe
Burma's beauty.
We are fast moving into something, we are fast flung into something like asteroids cast into space by the death of a planet, we the people of earth are cast into space like burning asteroids and if we wish not to disintegrate into nothingness we must begin to now hold onto only the things that matter while letting go of all that doesn't. For when all of our dust and ice deteriorates into the cosmos we will be left only with ourselves and nothing else. So if you want to be there in the end, today is the day to start holding onto your children, holding onto your loved ones; onto those who share your soul. Harbor and anchor into your heart justice, truth, courage, bravery, belief, a firm vision, a steadfast and sound mind. Be the person of meaningful and valuable thoughts. Don't look to the left, don't look to the right; we simply don't have the time. Never be afraid of fear. Cheap Flights to Singapore | Flights to Singapore | Cheap Air Tickets to Singapore
