My theme this year is Burma AKA Myanmar. I used to live in Laos, so I looked forward to returning to Southeast Asia. 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 see some of what I saw.
This is a village on Lake Inle. The only way to reach the houses or the monastery is by boat.
This is how you get around the villages of Inle Lake.

Answers to what do you know about British Colonial Times in Burma?
F 1. Britain went to war with Burma in the early 1900’s. (The war began in 1824 when Burma’s Konbaung Dynasty tried to move into an area close to Britain’s Indian.
T 2. The Anglo-Burmese War had a few causes, but the most commonly named are the British desire for access to teak forests in southern Burma and a port to ship from. (*It seems the causes for war are only different in the resources countries covet-teak in one century, oil in another. *This is a political opinion.)
