Back With An Introduction III

Hi Everyone!

Here we are at the last stop of my trip - Inlay!!!

If there's any word to describe this city, it would be "pure" to me! During my one and a half day stay there, I couldn't help but began to agree with the myth that Inlay lake is always clean and that it cleans people off. Whether it was while we were touring around the water city, watching the local businesses, visiting the prestigious temple or just talking to the locals, I could just feel people's naive and modest nature anytime. Besides, the place itself is amazing with open mountain views, sea birds flying around, fishermen fishing over the lake, kids going to school via boats, etc... After the experience, I guess it's all the things that I have mentioned or not mentioned that make Inlay one of the favorite vacation spots for visitors who wish to come out to the nature and enjoy the simplicity!!!!

And this simplicity notes the end of my short vacation sadly!

I hope you enjoy this little introduction about Myanmar, and I will make sure there's more coming!!! ;)

  

PS: Don't forget to ask about the wine yard for great wine tasting there xxx

Have a lovely day!!!

Back with An Introduction II

So Let's continue my vacation!

Day 2, we went to see some local business that makes palm sugar, palm wine, etc with mainly primitive methods and manual labor. Then we headed to our destination - Popa - "monkey mountain" according to moi! Popa is another holy mountain for Buddhist, which is about 1 hour drive from Bagan, and it's well known for the pagoda on top of the mountain and the monkeys living there. Ala, before I visited there, I thought monkeys would be cute and nice but reality says otherwise. Climbing up hundreds or thousands of stairs while paying attention to those smart, naughty and sneaky monkeys was quite difficult for the time being! But as we got to the top of the mountains, the landscape view and prayers of other people made it all worth it!

Leaving the craziness behind, we headed to a resort for lunch and just spent the evening in the hotel, dipping into the warm pool with a great Bagan view....

PS: I hope you don't get discouraged by my monkey talk, and actually go there and enjoy the funny 

moments! :)

Since I was away for so long, I am catching up with hundreds of things to do and to share with you, hope I can keep the pace of uploading once every 2 days xx crossing fingers xx

Have a productive day my loves!

Back With An Introduction!

Hello everyone!

It's been so long that I don't even dare to count how long I have been away...after taking a break, settling down, having friends reunion, etc etc, now I'm back!!!

As soon as I landed here, all I was thinking was how to introduce Myanmar to you all, some of whom might still have to look at the map to locate where it is... :/

Luckily, I got a vacation with my friends awhile ago, and here we go - we will start with Bagan!!! Actually, Bagan is the perfect place to begin Sunshine's Diaries in Myanmar! With thousands of temples or pagodas in your sight, every single one of them has its own story to contribute to our culture and history... So, even after visiting a very few of them, you might already know more Myanma history than I do!!!

That's why the first thing that we did as soon as we landed there was visiting some of the famous temples!!! It was truly amazing how magnificent and peaceful they were, decorated with gold, flowers and candles.... 

After the spiritual moment, we went biking around the hotel, feeling like a local! I would say it is another must-do in Bagan simply because you can see much more about the city itself while you bike. Ohh...biking along sunset would make you feel like living the painting ok (just a tip)!!! 

That is for the first day of my trip and here are some photos for you all. :)

Traditional Tea Salad!

 My pictures didn't capture even the slightest beauty of Bagan at all, so I hope you can come see it yourself!!! ;)

Hoping to see you all here!!!

~ Love ~
