My Myanmar (Burma) trip is a spiritual and nostalgic experience.
Myanmar has an old world charm with the country being relatively more open to the
influx of tourists in the recent decade. My friend and I were blessed to visit
Myanmar in April 2014 during the Thingyan Water Festival. In 4 out of 5 days we
were touring their streets with our clothes fully wet as locals throw water at every
passerby, a tradition observed to wash away one’s sins in the past as one welcomes
the new Burmese year.
