High on a hill and guarded by monkeys
If you can brave the 777 steps, the monkeys, and the spirits, then the climb to the monastery at top of Mount Popa in Myanmar is a beautiful experience.
Myanmar
The incredible ancient city of Myanmar
The ancient city of Bagan was once one of the greatest cities in Myanmar – and Southeast Asia. Today it is in ruins but still an incredible place to visit.
More than just the sights
When I met Kyee Maung, I had no idea how much he would be able to show me around Bago. His tour of the Myanmar city went well beyond just the sights.
Ending the day with snakes
The day started out with no plans and ended in the middle of a lake surrounded by snakes. That’s just the way things are here in Myanmar.
Life on the track
Taking a trip on the circle line train around Yangon gives you an insight to the local life. The carriages become moving markets as they rattle around.
The heart of Myanmar’s faith
The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is the largest in Myanmar. The heart of the country’s Buddhist faith, it’s a shining golden symbol of the people.
