Myanmar. Don't Forget Your Passport
Description
Ross Shimmon begins his adventure travels in Myanmar at the ancient Shewedagon temples of Yangon. He then travels by long-tail boat through the shanty fishing villages of Inle Lake to attend the annual Buddhist water festival parade. Next, it's a hot air balloon ride over the Land of 1,000 Golden Pagodas in Bagan on the shores of the magnificent Irrawaddy River. Finally. Ross meets an extraordinary young peasant girl who guides him through the small thatched homes to see how she lives in rural Myanmar. It's a touching and humorous exchange.
