Travel opportunity...
Are you sick and tired of seeing French canals, English castles, Italian and Chinese villages? Maybe you’re tired of seeing them in movies, books, on TV, and in your neighbor’s videos.
Kipling, who would know of such things, wrote that Burma is “a land unlike you will ever know...”.
A century later, the mystique remains. The very word “Mandalay” still conjures images of the paradisiacal. Its name has been pressed into use in movie titles, old standards, and casino names as an irrefutable reference to the exotic. And yet few could place it on a map. Fewer know of its wonders.
Here they are in a nutshell: thousands of temples, at least two empires, innumerable cultures, one legendary river.
Once Southeast Asia’s most secretive sister, shy Myanmar has dropped her veil to give us a peek at her cultural beauty and richness. This country goes beyond unspoiled—she is graceful, intoxicating, serene, "quite unlike any land you know about."
