A promise is a promise, so Oma settled down in front of her new PC and sent over plenty of shots from Myanmar, which she, Opa, Veerle and Lina 
visited over Christmas. They are every bit as cool as advertised. Believe the hype, baby.Here is some info on the areas they visited from Myanmar Travel Information and Wikipedia as well as other places: Bagan, capital of the first Myanmar Empire, first became a major city in the 800s AD. The old walled city was at the center of a network of roads that gave it command over many plains and contemporary cities.
The town — its sweet formal name is the City of the Enemy Crusher — covers more than 16 square miles and features more than 2,000 pagodas and 
temples from the 11th to the 13th centuries.During this time, Bagan became a center of Buddhist studies, attracting monks and
students from across South Asia. The Mongols then overran the city — join the club, right? — but many of the area's ancient Buddhist shrines have been restored and are again being used.The shots that feature water are from Inle Lake, which lies some 2,600 feet above sea level and is at most 10 feet deep. Many of the area's 150,000 people literally live on the water, cultivating massive floating gardens and organizing markets for trading.
