A jourey back in time - a slow horse cart temple jumping day

MYANMAR | Tuesday, 12 Apr 2011 | Views [856]

Right, a day on a horse cart. The cart had only one axle, so the ride was doomed to be a bit like riding on a camel. The horse was a bit small and thin but never the less happy and agile. The start was early, 07:30 and the price: 17 000 Kyat. ... Read more >

MYANMAR | Saturday, 9 Apr 2011 | Views [1240]

We wanted to get out of Mandalay for a day. It´s not the best looking city in the world. On top of that, it was very hot and noisy. Also some strange wind blew in last evening and covered everything in fine red dust. So we read about those botanical ... Read more >

MYANMAR | Tuesday, 5 Apr 2011 | Views [744]
