Magical Burma

---

Burma was magical, delightful people , serene atmosphere, so many contrasts. We started our trip in Yangon, stayed at the residence of the former Governor, really nice. Wandered around the city , went for drinks at the old Strand Hotel, wonderful photos adorn the walls. A visit to the 'House of Memories' was next, this is where the father of Aung San Su Ke had his office, a bit strange and eerie at first , but after a few drinks and the company of some locals sheltering from the monsoon rains we began to enjoy ourselves. We then made a visit to the British War Graves Cemetery just outside the ciy, beautifully kept place of rest, do go and visit. At the end of our trip to Yangon we stopped to take a last look at the remarkable Shwedagon pagoda, we pulled in in the rain to watch it from a distance and were amused to find a group of Burmese ladies of various ages 'doing their morning routine' , dancing to a DVD , shown on a telly in the boot of a car, to off all things 'The Macarena' , will try and add video clip.
