All becos of this Rock Was mesmerised by Steve McCurry and Felix Hug’s photos of Golden Rock.The reason why I chose Myanmar for my CNY trip.Didn’t expect that it was so difficult to get to Golden Rock or maybe it’s a way to test one’s devotion and commitment to this holy place.As we didn’t manage to get an early flight back to Yangon we only arrived in Yangon at almost 3pm on the day we were

Filed under Blog, Myanmar

Tis a simple enough rule one developed very early on during my foray into Myanmar cuisine for ordering the chicken rarely resulted in chicken as I am accustomed to it but rather a small side dish of chicken bones would arrive to accompany my rice. These bones were mostly devoid of flesh and a person would have to pick one up and gnaw it like a rat to get anywhere with it. Having a profound disli
