The Summary
Myanmar, Burma, "The Golden Land", "Land of a million pagodas"... A mystical country with a huge population of Buddhist monks, roaming the streets early every morning, begging for food on their bear feet. Golden pagodas with tiny bells tingeling in the wind, bringing peace to the mind. Four weeks of traveling here have mentally enriched me, or should I say "Enlightened"?
