It's Been a While

---

Hi everyone sorry it's been a while but we seem to have been on the move and in Countries with not much internet. After Cambodia we bussed it back to Vietnam then went back north up the coast to Hoi Anh to enjoy all the taylor shops and Indian food. They have the best Indian food we have ever tasted! After Vietnam we flew to Myanmar. it is a really interesting country,quite poor and the people are the friendliest we have ever met! We travelled from Yangoon, where we experienced the most beautiful Buddist temple with an awesome gold Stuppa that is another wonder of the world! Then to Lake Inlay to experience a more rural life living with the lake as the provider! Mandaley was another big city but it had the most wonderful old bridge leading to the temples that just glowed at sunset. then on to Bagan where there are more than 4,000 stupas in the local countryside. We had a rooftoop terrace where we just sat a soaked in the wonder of it all! Buddism is a part of their life and theyy live it daily! Back to Yangoon where we met up with a friend, Ron Hoffman and went to see the Canadian graves from the war and back to sunset at the Stuppa for our last day!
We then left for Bangkok to see our friends
