“Mingalaba”….. this is the greeting word in Myanmar language. I spent 16 nights on my trip there last month (March). It’s hard to tell how much I miss this country.
Well, this website is still about visiting Thailand and I’m still working as a tourist guide in Bangkok but Myanmar is like my neighbor where I’d like to invite you to visit after seeing me in Bangkok already (well?)
In the opinion of an adventure girl like me, I think sometimes when I travel without any expectation, it’s more fun than when I plan so well. I have so short time to get to know Myanmar before I really go there. So, it’s not so perfect trip when I think of places I stayed or visited in each days but experience that I’ve got is perfect. Myanmar in my opinion is like a blind date which I’m so clicked with this place so much. There’re not so many people visiting there because of their own reasons and many others.
When I’m just a few of tourist there, I don’t feel so different from when Julia Robert is watched by paparazzi. It’s so hard to guess by looking at their face about how they feel to see me as an Asian woman who really look like Myanmar girl but backpack and travel in this country. I have to say “Hello” to them to let them clear in mind that I’m not Myanmar but just a tourist. After they hear my voice, I almost see all teeth in their mouth because they smile a lot to me.
