Trekking Burma


Hey!
I havent posted in a while because I have been waiting to add photos. I have a ton of photos from my time in Burma, and I've been editing them busily. Here are some from the trek I did from a town in the mountains
 ( Kalaw) to Inle Lake - more are coming soon. 

Hello Sophie, (Belgian girl I trekked with).

 Hello Asian hills.

 Hello unsuspecting villager in field.

 Hello sunset from the first night of trekking. So many spectacular sunsets!

 Hello again Asian fields.

 Well hello there. I have enough cow pictures for an entire post on cows. Get excited.

 This youngun was torturing our exhausted sweaty selves with her dripping popsicle.

 Our guide, Ngungu. ( Nyu Nyu). She was adorable and laughed a lot, but didn't speak too much English  Except for occasionally she'd come out of nowhere with things like "initiation ceremony." What?

 I couldn't resist snapping a shot of these Pa -oh villagers huddled up on the hillside. It looked like a pow wow but I'm assuming it was lunch.


 Oh Sophie, you poser.

 Hello Pa-oh villagers. Love the turbans.

 Yes, I slept in this Monastery. Yes, some people got riproaring drunk. I was too busy sleeping after hiking 40 kilometers.


 These monks were throwing stones at each other. They later got very close to hitting me when they decided to play monkey in the middle with the unsuspecting foreigner - while I was taking a shower ( outside, with a metal bowl, from a well).

 Hello Miet and Sophie. And the sunrise we caught because our guide was racing the other groups. She thought we didnt know.... except we got everywhere a good hour before everyone else and every morning got up progressively early. Hello 5:30 am.

 Hello Asia.

Sometimes you get lucky.
