The Road to Mandalay



























I never made it to Mandalay but I did spend a week sampling Yangon's street food. These were some of my favorites.

Mission to Burma















My little side trip to the absolutely amazing country of Myanmar (aka Burma) was for one main reason - to meet up with Bart who had been cycling through Asia for six months since the last time I ran into him in Istanbul. Bart is now the only person who I have hung out with on three continents. Many people I've seen on two continents, but for now it's only Bart with three.

Myanmar was a totally refreshing change from the other countries of the past weeks. Also exciting was the change in faces from Indian to Asian, and of course the different food!
