Hello together.
As i told you, unfortunately i was not able to upload any more Stuff after Mandalay. The Connection was either not existing or not working the last 10 Days.
Yesterday i finally arrived in Bangkok again, and to be honest i was never so happy to be back in Civilization. Don't get it wrong, Burma is a GREAT Country in every sense, but yet it is a very exhausting Country as well. After 1 Month of being there, permanently getting asked where u from what u doing here bla bla bla you lose your good will about answering all those questions, it goes even so far that on the last day you don't even want to go out at all
As well is travelling by land and on budget very exhausting and complicated. The busses are really crap, the trains are crap, all of it is crap. There is no Night Busses, the Night Bus is a normal sitting Bus without space for the feet at all, and if you're lucky the Aircon is working, which can be really bad in a Area where is 46 Degrees and just gets slightly down at Night.
But over all, it was worth the Pain. No Pain no Gain
. I met wonderful People, seen extraordinary things and had an experience about what is POOR which is just not to describe with Words. And I'm glad i was able to see the Country in that Time, it will be so different in few Years..
So as I'm able to do now, i will share some Pictures of my last Days in Burma with you.


that's how you roll’ in Pyin U Lwin

i guess my Photographic skills have improved 

Christian Church



Bit more improvement 




They got some great old colonial Villas in Pyin.

On this Day we took the most exhausting wandering i ever done on my Travels down a ravine to see a Waterfall. Was a 45minutes walk down a really bad path and all that back up again in the searing mid day heat. But worth the Trip, you will see why 

AMAZING Waterfalls

Publics used it for Bathing

But on that Day the Waterfall wasn't the Main Attraction.


It was us.


And i made some new Burmese Friends.

Next Day i went to the Botanic Garden.

Wonderful Peaceful Place.

With black Swans

Bamboo Forest like in an old Japanese flick




And a lot of Wild Orchids. But the most impressive Part of the Botanic Garden was the Butterfly Museum. Unfortunately photographing was not allowed in there. It was SO IMPRESSIVE! They had Butterfly's they were so Big like a car wheel! And incredible Colours. I was totally amazed by that. They even had Bugs. There are Bugs out there, i would run from them.
Later that Day we went to Bago overnight. I have so freaking much photos of Bagan i will not be able to share them all so i try to pick out just some of nice ones.



At the beginning we was pleasured to visit the Monastery of our Guide. We were allowed to make Photos of the Monks studying, eating and we even received free food ourselves! It was a great experience!

Monks cooking Place.

Yummy Fish Curry

Monks enjoying their Lunch. And they really have to, because Monks only get food twice a Day, once in the Morning, and once before mid day. So monks life would be no fun for me.
After leaving the Monastery it got even better. Much better! We were allowed to visit the little Village of our Driver! IT WAS SO GREAT! All the Kids of the Village coming jumping at us, grabbing our hands and wanted to show us their village!

Hey! Let me play you the song of our People 


Private escort. The girls grabbed Tabea and the Boys grabbed me.






Bunch of Chaotic Children
@ Andi, the guy in the turquoise shirt remembered me pretty much of Ice 

Incredible Big main Pagoda in the City Centre

Stay Away!

Yey

Quite a view

First big Buddha




Incredibly big holy Snake in the Snake Temple. I haven't seen a big snake like that in my life. It was Huge, and it is alive.




Really nice Temple with a lot of small Buddha's on the Walls



A LOT!

Can it get more atmospheric than that? Sometimes u think they are joking you.



This is just one of the most impressive Things I've seen in my life. A about 92 Meters long laying Buddha.

Holy Symbols everywhere. Lots of Monks got the Tattooed on them as well, you get a bit irritated once in a while.

Another incredible Monastery








Then there was an Animal Pagoda. Because they believe Animals helped them build up the Stupas or something. Was a nice Place.




And at the End there was the famous 4 Buddha's looking in 4 directions. They were HUGE. This Day on Bago definitely was a Highlight of Burma. Next Day we went 8 hours down south to Mawlamy.

Just in Time for Sunset.


Some nice view from Mawlamy

Same Same but different Pagodas. Excuse me for not Posting much Pagoda Photos. But we already got the Pagoda Collapse there.

Buddha under the holy tree


Mawlamy, well at least for me was not worth the Travel. We stayed there only one Night and later that Day we left for Hpa an to Stay there a few Days.

There the View of our Hotel Terrace was more like what i like.

Nice little Monastery on the Water

Turned out perfect to watch the Sunset.

Hi






That's what Accommodation in Myanmar mostly look like. 15 Us dollar with public Bathroom.

View from Balcony



Market


The Lake in Hpa An.

Woman Fishing


Quite nice Place.





That's how you Travel in Burma. No fun. At all.
That Day we moved to Kinpun, where the Golden Rock is located.

Golden Rock




Local Life. That's a HOUSE. They live there.

Monk washing his stuff, i had a nice little Chat with him.


Jack Fruit Tree.


I offered my Help. I should not have done that.

Villa.
Next Day we went to Yangon to Catch our Flight back to Bangkok. I just walked around a bit because i was tired already.
Some Pics



Big Laying Buddha in the City

Entry to some Pagoda

Clock tower.

And finally the Airplane.
Well that means goodbye Burma. It was quite an experience. 26 Days in one of the most poor country's in all Asia. I'm glad for that experience, but in the end I'm a bit happy I'm back in comfortable Bangkok.
What happens next, no idea, be surprised 
Read me.
