The Inle Lake in Myanmar is the biggest ethnic mixture of beautiful people. It’s my last destination in Burma before Singapore and I am really overwhelmed. All people here are so happy, always with a smile! Women dress only in colours, with big amount jewellery and scarves (look at the Karen and Pao tribe!). Men do everything with joy, without hurry… And children are so cute! And funniest kid on Earth was the one with bamboo cages- he shouted “Bamboo, Bamboo!” and at the end threw both of them into water. Then he sat down, and put his finger into his nose. It made my laugh so much! Thank you Burma for beautiful time, and hope to see you soon!

Myanmar: INLE LAKE’s LIFE

The biggest lake in Myanmar is called the Inle Lake (22 km of length). It’s known for a very specific feature that it literally contains- here, you may observe the life style of inhabitants- the “Inthas” or “Sons of Lake” who live in the middle of the lake. Also, the unique style of fishermen rowing the boat by standing and rolling one leg around the paddle while holding their traditional cone shape fishing basket. This looks really amazing. We also visited the huge floating farms that looked totally like from Sci-Fi movies… that grew tomatoes and beans (that are really good). On the way, there was aslo a remarkable factory were the scarves are knitted out of lotus and silk… This type of production can be found only here! 



Myanmar: BAGAN

For these few days (as you may notice because of my blog absence) I was in Bagan- the town in the centre of Myanmar. It’s known for the 3000 pagodas that are spread all around the place. To see the city in it’s whole beauty, we had to fly up with a hot air balloon- the flight together with British pilots was a experience to remember for whole life! Later, we saw around 15 pagodas and temples that have so strange names, that would be a non-sense to list them all. Although, one of them- Ananda Temple- definitely showed off most with it’s beautiful Burmese architecture and four huge Buddhas. Although Bagan is very beautiful and silent, I must admit all these pagodas make my head burn. And temples/monasteries! All made from tick or brick. And most of them look pretty same, keeping it’s adorable peace. But- still, this amazing architecture and atmosphere can be met only here! 




Myanmar: ANISAKAN WATERFALL

Anisakan Waterfall is the biggest, and the most spectacular waterfall in the whole Myanmar. Located 40km from Mandalay, this place is situated in a deep jungle- to go there, you must go down from a steep mountain for approximately one hour. What’s more, there is a little Pagoda next to the waterfall, and you may see how the monks are working. This place will make your day in Burma a real paradise escape!
Myanmar: TRADITIONAL STUFF

Myanmar is not only famous for it’s Pagodas and beautiful sunsets, but also for wood carving and amazing embroidered decoration. Today I had a chance to visit a huge store full of souvenirs and beautiful stuff that made me want to buy everything- teak Buddha’s, monkey-skull necklaces, pig teeth bracelets, embroidered cushion covers and silk longis. In other words, a fantasy for souvenir-buying monster. And by the way you could see how the wood is carved in traditional, Burmese way!
