A few days in Bangkok then off to Burma and the famed Road to Mandalay also known as the Irrawaddy River. Burma is an incredible place with a long and interesting history. Now it stands at a pivotal point politically and is a country to watch. Being there is like stepping back in time whether viewing the "must see" sights or walking among and visiting with the people who live there and participating in their customs and culture. Mingalabar!
