Land of elephants, pagodas 'n smiles >> Travel: Laos, Myanmar, Thailand 01


Yangon: Sule Paya at night. The intinerary, we give up trying to pound the vague yet stubborn one into something shapely. But, we have one bag each, two return tickets Singapore-Bangkok-Singapore, plus two Myanmar visas. Plenty to start with. After all, we do know we want to visit the three countries collectively known as the Golden Triangle. Indeed, these are countries of a many thousand golden splendours, of warm smiles, gilded pagodas and royal elephants.

This trip was made in Sep-Dec 2002.

Next up...
A little post-trip patter before I kick off the next set of journal entries, which should be lengthier than anything I've put up so far.

Hi there, thanks for dropping by!

For me, our travels are made up of many, very special, little moments. Like the time when someone invited us to a wedding simply because we had struck up a conversation in the train, even though we were clearly inappropriately dressed for such an auspicious occasion (and had no way of getting a wedding gift for the happy couple). And yes, many of these memories have to do with the people we meet, both locals and fellow travellers. The other apsect of travelling I love most is the feeling of being on the move; often, it's the journey that's memorable.

Bon voyage always.
