After crazy amount of work recently, this day has finally come! Another year another trip, this time I'm heading to Myanmar - Bagan has been sitting on my bucket list for quite awhile. I so can't wait to see it. But first, of course, I need one day in my lovely stinky yet amazing Bangkok, to chill, get used to proper warm weather, I can already smell my massaman curry being prepared... and sticky rice mango 😋 Just taking off from Ljubljana to Belgrade, s excited!Читать далее

Bangkok, my dear friend!
14 декабря 2018 г., Таиланд ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Long flights, layovers, broken TV on one plane and broken remote on another (year, Etihad is shit) and actually some sleep on planes, I just got out of Subarnabhumi and took a deep fresh breathe of stinky Bangkok. I missed this so much!
One short walk down the Rambuttri street, ahhhh it's so good to be back! It's so hot, but couldn't and wouldn't resist ordering a Chang and some proper curry for brunch (at Madame Musur, where else) 😋
Also my Dang&Derm hotel has an awesome pool. Yes, yes, I know, I will let myself out and slam the door behind me 😘Читать далее

Myanmar, finally!
15 декабря 2018 г., Мьянма ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Another flight and here I am - Yangon! Looks pretty amazing so far, and very cheap. Got my sim card (4€ for 5GB LTE), took a regular bus to center to see more. Oh I will love this place - smelly chaotic streets, fried street food and sweets everywhere, people smiling, 1€ beer,... And girls, really pretty! Checked into my hostel, with a beer before that, of course.
Went out for a dinner, many restaurants but wanted something outside. I found this place with locals and maaaan was I an attraction! Whole next table staring at me, "Hello!" like 5 times, waving at me and all that, smiling, so good to look at this (a bit awkward also). It's cute that when you look back and eye a givr, they shyly smile and look down ❤️ So cute. People have been nothing but lovely so far :) If this keeps up Myanmar has a big chance.of becoming my favourite country so far, as many already suggested. Also - prawns were amazing, spicy, but amazing!Читать далее

Yangon
16 декабря 2018 г., Мьянма ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
This hostel has the best beds. Like sleeping on a cloud 😊 Woke up, had good breakfast and then headed out with Damia, a French girl who joined me for breakfast. What a day - first the National Museum, to see and learn about Myanmar, its history, people, art,... Fun place, this country really has a lot of history I knew nothing about. Next stop was Shwedagon Pagoda, the biggest one, seen from all over town. Lots of people, mostly locals, praying, socializing, really peaceful place. Next we headed to te beautiful park, so nice, quiet, birds singing all the time, it was quite a walk around it. Ended up with seeing St. Mary's Church (Portuguese church) and finally - dinner. Some fancy restaurant (Burma Bistro) with amazing local food, costed like €24 for two (including gintonics, beers, deserts, you name it). Now chilling, beer and writing this :)
Yangon is nice, big but not many tourists and streets not too busy, it is Sunday though. People are smiling all the time, very friendly, really a nice place.
Tomorrow it's circular train time - a 0,30€ train ride around whole Yangon, should be pretty scenic I've heard 😊Читать далее

Circle train ride in Yangon
17 декабря 2018 г., Мьянма ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Another day another adventure 🙂 One of must-do things in Yangon is circle train ride. For 200K (17 cents) you get on a 3 hours ride all around Yangon, 39 stations where you can go off and on again. Pretty awesome stuff! Today we were joined by Niao, a sweet Chinese girl who had a birthday a day before! And since this train is used by locals you meet all kinds of people, but mostly people going to and from the market, coming on a train with everything from animals, corn, building material, you name it. Oh, and food. Of course! I bought some noideawhat, some sweet fried stuff (tasted like chocolate), paid like 5 cents 😶
After the ride was over we went through local textile and food market. I love the markets! Not sure I'd buy meat just off the table though 🤔
Ended up going to hostel, took my bags and grabbed a Grab to the bus station. What a shitshow that is, hundred buses, everybody yelling, impossible to find a simple ATM,... Noted local guys looking at me funny for wearing my fisherman's pants. Maybe they see it as some mini skirt compared to their longyi? Not that I give a fuck 🤣 Now sitting on a nigh bus to Inle Lake (12 hours of VIP bus with TV, chairs better than airplane's business class! Yay! Not sure my stomack is okay, this road is bumpy as hell... Hope I survive 😕 Oh and saw puppies!! 😍

p.s. I LOVE Myanmar so far!Читать далее

Nyaung Shwe - Inle Lake
18 декабря 2018 г., Мьянма ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Never again am I taking a 12 hour bus ride. Ever. Haven't slept for more than an hour, trying to find best position so AC wouldn't blow directly on me, they do have highway but it's concrete and bumpy! Something wasn't ok with my stomach and bus stopped only twice, second time in some shit-hole with toilets without door, paper,... Horrible! Finally got to Nyaung Shwe, went to hostel and they have extra room for early arrivers, great! Beer first of course 🍻 Got 5 hours of sleep 😴 Anyways, booked a full day sunrise tour on Inle Lake for tomorrow with come funny Canadians. Waking up is at 5!! but honestly - can't wait! 😊Читать далее

Inle Lake is just ... beautiful!
19 декабря 2018 г., Мьянма ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Another waking up at 5, after a night of debating and gintonics with other backpackers. What a day! So first I needed to find my locker key I lost last night, luckily it was waiting for me on reception 😊
They put us on truck and off we went to the pier and on a boat. It's chilly in the morning but manageable. The sky was amazing, all the colors, we were all taking photos like crazy! It was partly cloudy but just enough. I don't think I've ever seen a sunrise as beautiful as this one.
We then drive around the lake, stopped at local silver smith, lotus weavers, floating gardens, ... These villages are all on water so I guess boat is a-must 😉 I've met some awesome people on this tour - a group of really great and funny Canadians, one psychotherapys from US and a Dutch couple. We stopped at Indein Village to see the ancient pagodas and Shwe Inn Thein temple. Wonderful, reminded me of Angkor Wat a bit.
We had lunch at some home in one of villages, very good food! Ended up with driving with canoes around village.
It should rain that day but we were lucky and avoided the rain while on boat.
Wrapped up the day with dinner with the dutch couple and late night beer debate with Brad, the Canadian, and Oskar, the french dude who volenteers here in hostel. Oh what a night 😆Читать далее

Bagan here I come
20 декабря 2018 г., Мьянма ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
So I'm finally got to Bagan today. I had a 5pm flight from Heho to Nyaung U. Woke up with a slight hangover, but nothing a pill wouldn't fix 😊 I just spent the day driving around on a bike, checked the local Museum, found some cool monastery in the middle of nowhere,... Fun stuff. It's just one of those transit days where nothing much happened.
Got to the Ostello Bello hostel in Bagan, lots of backpackers! And they have this game going on every night and was immediately assigned to a group with a nice couple from Brussels. The game was to name a food, drink, singer, color etc. that starts with a letter they told us. We were last but had so much fun, ended up with regular late night debate with a cool British bloke who lives in Vietnam. Also got lots of tips about Bagan, which I cannot wait to diAscover tomorrow!Читать далее

Min ga la ba Bagan!
21 декабря 2018 г., Мьянма ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Bagan is the main goal for this trip and it is FANTASTIC! I got an e-bike (it's more a scooter) and started. It's pretty simple actually - you just go and get lost. If there is a path on the left? You just go. Another path? Follow it. It's so much fun, felt like Indiana Jones, exploring the area, trying to find secret temples,... They don't allow climbing on temple anymore since the earthquake in 2016 and to preserve this area, so they put locks on doors to rooftops. BUT you can still find a few, very rare, but backpackers share the secret locations :) I found two myself, great view and I just chilled in one of them as its really hot here. But this place is so awesome I could do this forever 😃
On my way back I found some organic garden restaurant, run by some cute family, a mom (boss!) an two lovely little helping girls. I was the only guest so we talked all the time :)
I rushed to the first temple that I found with open access to rooftop. I thought it'd be empty - nope 😁 And while watching the sunset I heard a Slovenian voice - a nice Slovenian family traveling Myanmar. First time I met a Slovenian in Asia.
Evening concluded with another game, this time trivia quiz, met tons of great people! Many gintonics and beers also hehe. But I had to wake up early next morning for...Читать далее

Ballooning day!
22 декабря 2018 г., Мьянма ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Balloon flights are popular in Bagan and for an obvious reason. It is not cheap though. They go for $350, I got it for $300. I wanted to skip this but... some British couple in Yangon's hostel was so amazed by it so I thought - I'm here, it's really an amazing place so why not? I had to wake up at 4:30, they picked me up and some other guests and went to this place where it all starts. This really is well organized stuff, run by British company, called Oriental Ballooning. You get coffee, meet the pilot, they tell you all there is to know, you see them test all the equipment so you have zero doubts about everything. There were 4 balloons from our company and 8 more from others, 12 people per balloon, that has 4 sections with 3 people in each. Then it starts - they fill the balloons with fans first, then the fire starts. These things are HUGE! Our pilot was this lovely Swiss girl, who flies all around the world, very informative, fun. Next thing you know - you are airborne! I won't even write, pictures should say enough. Let me just say this is on of greatest things I've done on trips. And it's worth every cent!Читать далее
