Thank you for posting, fcracer! Very nice images! Brings back some good memories from when I visited Myanmar (although I can see that a LOT has changed). I was there in 1983 and was only allowed 1 week in Myanmar (like every visitor). Visited Yangon/Rangoon and Inle Lake. Flew in from Calcutta/Kolkata India, and everyone on this plane had a bottle of Johnny Walker Red Label and a pack of "555" cigarettes. That was sold in Myanmar (ïllegally"), to fund the whole week's stay in the country (I sold it to an immigration officer!). Back then there where very few cars and those where old American cars (comparable to Cuba). Also almost no tourists at all. No hot air balloons/no "cat-jumping-monestary" and the only places one could visit where Rangoon, Mandalay, Inle lake and Bagan/Pagan. Only with inland flight from Burma Airline Corporation (BAC). I stayed in the Tamada hotel.

I have to go back again...and hopefully, I can visit some corners (off the beaten track), of this wonderfull country. Again, thank you very much for bringing back these memories!
