Do you know what it feels to be both calm, relaxed, peaceful and full of energy, physically tired at the same time? If you don’t, try a yoga retreat! After our first nice yoga experience in Krabi, we decided to invest a little bit more time in order to get a better understanding of what […]
Do you know the Nike message? I think you all do: “Just do it!” This is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think back to Ko Phi Phi. Just do it! Just go there! I’ve seen quite a few islands lately, but if I were to choose one to come back […]
Here we were just the 2 of us again! Sad? Happy? Both and much more multiple and contradictory feelings! We decided that we needed something new, something different… And that is how we found ourselves at our first yoga and meditation class in Krabi: two European tourists that have never had any contact with this […]
After being on the road for some time we thought it was time to cool down and relax with 2 friends from Romania on the amazing beaches in the Gulf of Thailand. It was not that easy though – I think we got used to being just the two of us (The Bear and The […]
Late afternoon, before sunset. The sun’s reflection in the Irrawaddy River to the West, trees covering the two-lane highway giving us the impression that we’re in a green tunnel and, of course, Robbie Williams’s song resonating in our headphones: that’s how we entered Mandalay coming from the South. Mandalay is the third most important city […]
Having still almost one week left for Myanmar after visiting Bagan, we decided to make a detour before going to Mandalay. We had a look on the internet and found Monywa being recommended as the perfect stop between Bagan and Mandalay. It was the best decision we could make as it soon became our favorite […]
A country is not only a long list of monuments, places, cities, mountains, rivers and so on. It is especially made of PEOPLE. And if there would ever be a top of the countries where people have the warmest, most sincere smiles I’m sure that Myanmar would easily enter that list. We were so overwhelmed […]
Even though Cambodia remains my favorite country in South-East Asia so far, with Angkor Wat as one of its most amazing sceneries, I did like more the “rival” Bagan in Myanmar. It is not included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is less known and less well-maintained, but I felt it closer to what […]
Imagine sitting on a fisherman boat in the middle of a lake surrounded by mountains while eating fresh, tasty tomatoes picked directly from the lake. You think it is impossible? It isn’t! We did it on Inle, a 116 km2 lake in the center of Myanmar where locals grow vegetables in large gardens that float […]
Wow! Wow! And wow again! This was the most surprising city we’ve seen so far during our journey. It was not necessarily a good or a bad surprise, but just unexpected. Naypyidaw is the capital of Myanmar since November 2005, a city built in secret by Myanmar Junta in the early 2000s. It is very […]
