Burma; Began

Buddhism in Burma began in Began, that's a tongue twister! I think 13,000 pagodas and temples were originally built in an area about 25 square miles. 2,000 survive today, hope these continue to survive, a bit challenging with the tourists clambering over them for a good spot at sunset.

Burma; fantastic bike ride through the fields

The Burmese people are so friendly, loved riding through the stunning countryside passing very smiley faces. There were happy shouts of mingalabar, children waving and people impersonating our words and gestures. Am loving the Burmese people.
