February 26th 2019 I will officially have been travelling for two years. I am writing this blog post a little ahead of time as I am getting ready for my trip to China. I’ll be arriving in China second week of February to teach English for five months and travel around for one, therefore I’ll be in the middle of introduction week and course when this blog post was supposed to go up. I decided to be efficient 😉
I love to travel, but hate to arrive.
– Albert Einstein
Like previously stated, I was sick while in Myanmar, so the whole trip was a bit less enjoyable than it should be. This was, unfortunately, also true for my Myanmar “item on my bucket list”: the temples of Bagan.
Travel doesn’t become adventure until you leave yourself behind.

I had no idea where the bus was gonna drop me off, and I was thinking about not going to see Inle Lake, but after meeting Coops in Vietnam I decided to go stay at the hotel she lived in and see the lake. As you do. My Myanmar adventure was very random…
Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar, as it is believed to contain relics of the four previous Buddhas of the present kalpa.
The only I really wanted to see in Yangon was the Shwedagon Pagoda so I settled on a hotel within walking distance and planned this ONE thing for my time here. Turned out great, since I got sick when I hit Myanmar and ended up just lying in bed for three days.

I travelled around Myanmar by bus mostly, but opted for a boat ride between Bagan and Mandalay. No regrets there.
