Last post on Myanmar... and I will open the family album just one last time before heading to India [snif].

Chaud Patate:

- People in Burma, the most friendly and warm people I've ever met so far! All smiling, laughing with a pure mind and a big heart. I felt humanity and love all over, could walk alone at night safely, left my bag without surveillance for 4 days on a deck with no worries, etc ... Waouw!

- Boat trips, on all the boats!

- The fact that there is no tourist at all! A big change compared to the rest of South-East Asia...

- Excellent food... thank God India will help me to lose weight!

Pas Chaud Patate:

- Prices applied to foreigners; the commission we pay to the government when traveling as tourists, even independant ones; no ATM and the 27 per cent of commission taken for a cash advance on my Visa card

-  ... and that's it because it was all great!
