Whenever I'm busy or I feel tired, I will always think of my past travels. This will make me happy. I guess its something that I like. For others, it may be shopping. But for me, being a globetrotter is the thing for me. I'm not really at that stage yet. There are continents I haven't been to yet, America and Africa. Someday.. maybe. Not a desire.
My purpose in travelling is to see the world, to experience what other countries has to offer. I do not have a target, like how many countries to visit, neither do I want to set one. Right now, I'm very contented at having been to some countries. I have learnt to take things as they are, and be thankful for the present moment.
This post is about my first trip to Yangon, Myanmar. It is a very laid back country, infrastructure not really fully developed. The result is, not so much tourists, friendly locals and great atmosphere.
Singaporeans need to apply for a visa to get fly into Myanmar. I have to check out the embassy, which is at a quite secluded building in Orchard. One time to do the application, another time to receive the visa. I think it only takes about 1 week.
I flew on SQ to Yangon, about 3 hours flight. Not many Chinese tourists, in fact, not many tourists. I stayed at this hotel with a direct view of the famous Shwedagon pagoda. A lot of people, mainly the locals. I like the city, for now, for the crowd free city. As the city becomes more developed, it may get more and more tourists. So now is a good time to visit Myanmar if you haven't been there:)
