In 20-21 hours in Myanmar...

One can achieve a lot.

Everything took that long, at least in my personal experience. The bus ride to Mandalay. The bus ride to Bagan. The bus ride to Inle Lake. The passage of a less-than-perfectly-fresh lassi through my digestive tract.

I'm now in Chiang Mai, catching up with a good friend over equally good food. For the first time in nearly three decades, I'm going to visit my country of origin tomorrow. I wonder how people will treat me.

Wish me luck dudes...

Punting around massive Inle Lake
is an immensely pleasurable way to spend a day.

A fisherman peers through the still water
looking for his cyprinid prey.

Inle Lake fishermen
are famous for rowing their vessels with their legs.

We were standing in the middle of a bustling market when all of a sudden this tourist gives this perfect impromptu tenor delivery! The school children were stunned into silence at this unsolicited cultural exchange...
