Myanmar 2015: A bit of the market at Aungpan
http://myanmarblog2015.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-bit-of-market-at-aungpan.html
Sunday, February 8, 2015. A bit of the market at Aungpan. A bit late.again. We`re in India, but finally got some pics edited up from our time at Inle Lake. We did a day excursion to some Buddhist caves, but the best part was a stop at a small town called Aungpan, where the local Shan people come for their morning market. Huge! Block after block of little sellers lining the road, tons of people wandering through buying and bargaining! Just great, but here`s a small sample. On the way to the market!

Myanmar 2015: Jumping way ahead to Hsipaw in the north
http://myanmarblog2015.blogspot.com/2015/02/jumping-way-ahead-to-hsipaw-in-north.html
Sunday, February 1, 2015. Jumping way ahead to Hsipaw in the north. Internet speeds have been sooooo slow, that adding any blogs with images has been impossible.till now, in our last stop up north at Inle Lake. Thankfully it's fast enough at the Golden Empress Hotel. Anyway, here are shots from Hsipaw. Click on an image to embiggen. First, a few shots from our trip from Mandalay to Hsipaw:. Just some of the dishes offered at the roadside lunch stop,. And now to Hsipaw. Heading into the market. Please cli...

Myanmar 2015: Food
http://myanmarblog2015.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_80.html
Wellthat previous entry sounded negative! Since then the food has certainly been pretty consistently good. Instead of the usual 'red' - a sweet 'jam' - found all over Asia). Really popular are Thai and Chinese dishes. Most restaurants or stalls seem to serve variants of these, and they're pretty consistently good and very reasonably priced. Last night we had great plates of crispy duck and and mixed vegetables, with steamed rice, and came away pretty happy. Soeating our way happily through Myanmar.

Myanmar 2015: January 2015
http://myanmarblog2015.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. A little bit of internet speed up at Inle Lake! Anyway, here are some assorted images from Shwedegon in Yangon. Please click on an image to enlarge! These kids gave us big glasses of free bubble tea, and a little later we were brought in to have a huge wonderful and free lunch. A lot of the complex is actually gold plated, but parts are gold paint. Lots of upkeep all the time. Lay folks sweeping the whole complex. Night lighting just accentuates features. Nuns on a walk. Paul an...

Myanmar 2015: Getting from A to B
http://myanmarblog2015.blogspot.com/p/getting-from-to-b_5.html
Getting from A to B. Getting from A to B.and often back again. Transport has significantly improved. Our last couple of journeys - from Bagan to Mandalay and from Mandalay to Hsipaw - were fun. We took a 13 hour boat trip from Bagan to Mandalay, and what a great trip! Except for having to get up around 4 am! Hardly know where to begin. Get to the station, had some nice interactions with local folks, then get-on-the-train. Holy crap! The connecting metal areas between the cars were smashing and grinding w...
