Back from Burma

T'was a much more interesting and enjoyable trip than I expected it to be. 3 weeks in Yangon was as good as any of the student exchange programs I've ever been for. Ate a lot of good shit (literally too) :P

a few pictures to start with..

Shwedagon Pagoda (apparently plated with over 140kg of gold, thousands of diamonds and precious stones)

View from our apartment at 6pm followed by a distant lightning storm

Away on Holiday

I will be going away for 3 weeks to a place that might not have internet access at all. I will leave you with a picture of this drain to look at while I'm gone. I hope you can imagine how bad it smells and not enjoy it.

PV's Day Out :)

Newbies with a pv

*kudos to Ramax for taking decent pics and bravely handling the pit viper girl on his first attempt*
