Sky d'world

After a long thought and consideration, finally on 22nd August, I decided to buy Malaysian airlines' ticket for this trip for IDR 4,451,800 return with 2 hours transit in KL. Despite what people said that it's not safe bla bla bla but considering the price, and it's during Xmas and New Year holiday, I wouldn't be able to get cheaper than that, furthermore to be back on 4th Jan, was on waiting list of most of the airlines anyway.  A benefit of working in Tzu Chi School is I have a lot of friends in Taiwan who either have gone back for good or at least on holiday on December. They helped me planned the trips well since its a very rush trips considering plan to visit 7 cities in 10 days ...yee haaaaa I don't have to mention the traffic on 24th, but thanks God I managed to be on the check in counter on time with ojek helped with delayed flight. Got to Taoyuan at 6am. The trip was started from west, Hualien county, With the guidance from YCH,  I took ...

Feeling sad when holiday is about to end, that was how I felt when reaching Yangon at 5am, and it was raining heavily. We had asked the same taxi driver to pick us up (economic calculation instead of hotel and taxi to travel in and out city, we decided to book a day for 50 USD for 10 hours drive on that day). But maybe it was raining, he was late so we had to wait till around 6.30am, to be honest I didn't have any idea where to spend in Yangon but thanks to the taxi driver  first we were taken to Kyauktawgyi Pagoda, it was closer to airport before taking us to breakfast. Honestly all looked same to me after all, too many pagodas to be seen but these one are made from marble stone. They said it is one of the biggest marble Buddha Images in Myanmar with a height of 37ft (11m) and a weight of weighs over 600 tons. The classical name of this Image is Lawkachantha Abaya Labamuni, meaning World Peace and Prosperity. This Sitting Buddha Image is curved out from a single ...

Picked up at our Bagan's hotel at 12.30 pm with van to be transferred to bus. But hey it's not.... After got to bus station, we continued with the van, being the last person to be picked up surely didn't leave us the best seat. Sitting  at the back rows for 6 hours? it was okay after all since we were able to reach Mandalay by 5pm instead of 7pm.  Along the way, suddenly the van stopped, the driver and his helper went down, squat down and pee by roadside... What?? Yess, just like that. I might forget to mention that their traditional cloth for guy is sarong. I wonder they wear undie haha. Greeted by greener view, can tell Mandalay is not as dry as Bagan, we can see they got a few rivers running. Seemed the economy is better as well, later by reading, I found Mandalay was the capital city of Myanmar until 1885,  and it was to be the last royal capital of the last independent Burmese kingdom before its final annexation by the British. Reached there wit...
