My theme this year is Burma AKA Myanmar. I used to live in Laos, so this was a return to Southeast Asia that I looked forward to. I spent a little over three weeks exploring this country, learning a bit about its culture: its history, religion, and language. I thought others might enjoy some of what I learned and saw.

The lake is 900 meters above sea level, 22km long and 10km wide. The diverse ethnic population, the floating farms, the unique leg-rowed traditional boats all add up an amazing place to visit.
