At the end of my first day of exploration, instead of returning my electric bike, I arranged for a second day rental which would enable me to wake up early and ride out for the sunrise. Thankfully my stomach problems were behind me, so I had no problem rising early at 4 am and venturing out, I'm a surprisingly affable morning person when sunrises are involved. There are multiple viewpoints in Bagan, but I chose Bulethi, both because it wasn't far from where I was staying and Jojor had recommended it.

Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh, Vientiane and Mandalay - what do these cities all have in common? People don't stay. Tourists generally land at the airport of one of these bustling hubs, maybe stay long enough to see a temple, museum or market and then quickly jet off to their next destination. Three years ago I was told to give Bangkok a chance, and now I have a sense of returning and comfort whenever I arrive at Suvarnabhumi. It was because of this and similar experiences that I decided to give Mandalay a try, staying for more than a day.

AsiaMyanmarOpening its doors to tourism in 2012, Myanmar is like a toddler just learning how to walk, but oh is it learning quickly. Where WiFi and ATM's were once non-existent they're now common place. As the country quickly adapts my only hope is that the people do not, maintaining their fresh, friendly demeanor. Categories
