    The Land of Golden Pagodas

     

    Ever since opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi dropped her opposition to tourism in Burma (provided people use private, non-government agencies) we’ve been planning a research trip, and now finally we’re ready to offer what might be the best of a brilliant bunch in South East Asia. There’s some pretty tough opposition in the shape of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, but I felt the experience in Burma was that bit more genuine – very possibly due to the lack of western influence. The people are so friendly, genuine and welcoming, and everywhere felt very serene and peaceful.

    Fascinating pagodas

    It’s also abundantly clear why Burma is called the Land of Golden Pagodas. Anyone visiting the region should prepare for a temple or two but Burma certainly beats them all…
