What a fabulous pic! It looks like something out of a fairy tale.

Very cool.
Burma is interesting. You can't talk about the place without choosing sides. Is it Burma and do you support the previous government from before the military coup, or is it Myanmar and you recognize the new government? The one good thing about the horrible military government there is that tourists have abandoned the place, and historic sites like this are basically empty. Makes taking a nice picture easier when you don't have throngs of tourists to deal with. |

Burma is easier to say, so there's my political stance.

Are those buildings used? I mean, do people live in them or work in them? I would love love love to see one inside.

Bin to Sri Lanka. Loved it.
'Cepting the old chap lifting up his sarong to have a shit by the side of the road as we were driving past. Saw his old chap alright. Years later I had to wash my poor Grandad down after an accident. More than once TBH. Seeing the last turkey in the shop is never acceptable if you don't know the owner though.

*snicker*
So I went to HS with a girl whose last name was M*A*H*I*L*R*A*J*A*H (without the astericks...don't want to be a privacy ruiner) whose family's license plate read "CEYLON" and they say she was a princess in Ceylon (that was already Sri Lanka by then). Does that sound true? I don't know the history. |

She wasn't 'princessy' she was very down to earth and kind. Married a guy a grade ahead of us, still going strong. But supposedly they were some kind of royalty. *shrugs* |
