We spent New Year's Eve in Yangon (Rangoon), completing our overland journey from Shanghai. After a quick return trip by train to Mawlamyine, the 3rd largest city in Myanmar, we will take our first flight of the trip to Sittwe were we will visit the old temple site of Mrauk-U. Then down to Ngapali beach for 5 days of R&R.
All the best in 2009!
