When I left off on my last entry, I was feeling fatigued and unsure if I could sustain this travel. After Australia, I went to Singapore for four days. Family, friends, and food helped lift my spirits. A painful but much needed massage helped relax my weary muscles and joints. And, I had an unexpected boost to my post-travel job prospects. With all this happening, I got my spring back and I felt r... Read Full Entry

About Me: I am a native of Singapore and a professional expat. Since leaving Singapore in 1994, my life journey has taken me first to Bangkok, then to Manchester UK, and then to the United States - starting with Los Angeles, then Honolulu, then Silver Spring, MD, and then back to Honolulu. I took some time off from work between July 2017 and March 2018 to travel and reflect (check out my Midlife Crisis Flashpacking series).

May Shan Hotel!
Hey! I stayed in the May Shan Hotel for one night during my time in Yangon! I found it a great place - central as you say, and I seem to remember the rooms being very small but well-equipped and comfortable. Good to hear ATM cards can now be used in Myanmar - when I was there, the only way you could have money in the country was to bring in US dollars in absolutely pristine condition - no folds or anything. Things seem to be changing. I loved the colonial architecture of the city also - some buildings restored, some seem to be being reclaimed by nature! A very interesting blog to read, and great to hear you've been able to get your spring back :)

Getting My Mojo back
yup, so glad it came back. Immersing myself in the unfamiliar can be so rejuvenating at times, and yet it saps you as well! One of my first thoughts when I arrived in Yangon was that I should have visited earlier. But then, I would have had a tougher time getting around. May Shan is adequate. I think I was the only guest there both nights I stayed. Location can't be beat, though.
