Hello there! Remember me, the errant author of this blog? Lovely to see you again, after all this time…
I returned to Hong Kong last week after 67 fascinating days spent exploring various hard-to-get-to bits of Burma. I have oodles of stories to tell, but I’m working flat out on The Guidebook at the moment, so they’ll need to wait for a time when my head is less full of bus timetables and restaurant reviews. For now, here are some pretty pictures to fuel your wanderlust – if you’re thinking of visiting Burma, go, soon!
