… to not want to live in Sydney! With its beaches, nearby national parks, pubs, shopping possibilities and museums, it is definitely a great city to be in! And then we didn’t even talk about the one million different possibilities to fill up your stomach at some of the great restaurants serving creative fusion foods. But maybe Sydney is best described in colors.

So I know it is time to write something… Probably you are already waiting for it. And yes I know, we just got back from Sydney, which was absolutely fantastic… So I could talk about that and tell you all about their great city with long white sandy beaches and endless blue waters… Or the stunning architecture… Or just the fact how nice it is to be in a “Western” country after having spent 7 months in Asia…
But I just don’t have any inspiration today. And then, even if I had inspiration, sometimes it is just nice to not have to do any “homework”, but instead surf the internet for a few hours (of course sometimes we have a lot to catch up with, especially with a clown as a president, it’s hard to keep up-to-date with all the “bling-bling” going on…).
Maybe in a few days it will get better and my muse will come back to give me a “fully-reloaded-inspiration-kiss”. If that happens, I will let you know.
In the meanwhile, enjoy our pictures, which definitely say as much as words.

As we have been talking a lot about the Burmese being very friendly and downright funny, we thought it was maybe time to give you a small example.

In our last post we spoke of the wonderful people of Burma that make this country a great destination, but of course we also visited sites and regions that are worth mentioning. It gets very hot here though in February and March, so we instaured a different rythm that consisted of visiting in the morning and afternoon, with a big rest in the middle between 12 and 3 PM to avoid the worst heat. A little bit like the Spanish have their siesta (now we understand why… ).

Yesterday we came back from Myanmar, on a direct flight to Bangkok. What a shocking contrast! When in the capital of Myanmar, there isn’t any guarantee of 24-hours electricity, the capital of Thailand zooms with aircons, commercials and Thai TV. When throughout Myanmar foreign TV-channels are banned and considered as “liars” or “the enemy”, in Bangkok it seems that anything is possible (except saying anything bad about the king of course). But what a great trip we had in Myanmar. Read More »

We are now back from Myanmar (Burma). The country is fantastic to visit thanks to the generosity and welcome-ness of its inhabitants, though they are living difficult times and a clear lack of freedom.
We stayed on the beaten trails (which doesn’t mean that they are not bumpy!) as it was low tourist season and because of the recent events last autumn, the tourists were scarce. So we enjoyed visiting:
- Yangon, the capital of Myanmar.
- Bago and the Golden Rock, not much of a sight if you are not Buddhist, but there are enjoyable people and hikes.
- Inle lake, fresh air, treks and nice people.
- Mandalay, where we kept on trying to avoid paying government fees.
- Bagan, the ancient city nowadays in ruins but which is still as impressive as it must have been in the 12th century AD.
- People, we had such great times with local people and some travellers!
You can check the photos from Myanmar as they are now online!
Now we are back in Thailand in Hat Yai, Southern States and tomorrow evening we will be enjoying the sun set on Koh Tarutao, a protected island on the Andaman coast.
The plan is to stay a big week there, and then go back to Bangkok to fly to Sydney on the 1st of April. We should then be leaving the Asiatic continent which we visited for about 7 months. Unless buses, airlines or the weather play us an April Fool.

After Cambodia, we came back to Thailand for a little rest near the sea in Ko Si Chang. We had the blue/green sea for us during five wonderful days. Our moral and energy is up again and we are ready for Myanmar.
We should have land by now in Rangoon. But most probably we cannot confirm as Myanmar is one of the worst filtered country as for what is Internet-concerned. So until the 18th of March you won’t hear from us.
See you soon!
