A dawn of a rather more democratic era in a bizarre land, Myanmar is a country where the landscape is scattered with the ornate pagodas as well as the authentic ways of the Asian endurance. Given that the pace of change is not overwhelming in this South Asian country, it leaves with you the simple pleasures of a travel to the country. You can drift down the Ayeyarwady River in a luxury cruiser or an old steamer. For those who wish to better explore the country from the insides, you can take an easy trek through the pine forests to the minority villages that sprawl around the Shan Hills. One of the most significant highlights of Myanmar are the locals here. The people here are considerate, inquisitive, gentle, humorous, passionate and engaging. They are only going to try and be the part of your world. So, now is the time to take the leap of faith and form a connection.
