Humbled by our 3 day trek over the mountains of Myanmar.

Myanmar trekking
Thank you. Its alway lovely to hear your thoughts. It was truly off the beaten track which was the most amzing thing about it. In hindsight we did walk a lot but when we were there, and don't get me wrong my legs were very sore but I think our legs got used to the pain as we walked and we were too distracted by our surroundings. It was the most amazing experience we have had. I still think about Burma now a couple of weeks later. Yes, they did work together but we all had the feeling the women had it harder, exposed in the feilds all day hacking away and were the ones were the most servere disfigurement from their work. Lol, P.

Thanks guys, really felt like we caught the moment perfectly in this picture. The guide translated for them and they said us women in our group were beautiful. We all felt the same about them!! Beautiful smiles that blew us away but sadly they felt their dark skin was unattractive. Someone in the group commented on their beautiful teeth and the lack of Beattle-nut and they commented as per our observations that it was mainly men who did this. But not before marriage then after marriage the bettle-nut and drinking began. I'm guessing not a part of their culture they want to hold onto. Smaller hands hey? that's a first. It really is a shame this is not shared more.

Thanks for the heads up on the photo's, its a great feeling when you actually capture what your looking for and to be honest it doesn't happen a lot. Yes, in retrospect we wish we would have spent more time in areas like this as we don't know if we'll get similar experiences again.
