Two nights in Bangkok!!

After two nights in Bangkok, I am all set to take off to Burma!!! I booked my flight the day I arrived, got the visa the next day at a completely crowded Myanmar Embassy (you can really tell that tourism is kicking off in Burma and I hope I won't be surrounded by thousands of other travellers all the time!) and here I am: 5 am in the morning at the airport all checked in and ready for take off!!

I didn't do much planning yet, but have a feeling that travelling in Burma will be quite challenging. At least that is what I would assume reading about 18 hour bus rides to places that look pretty close at the map, interesting locations that can only be reached by plane or a 3 day boat trip not mentioning all the restricted areas and roads that foreigners are not allowed to travel. But I am 100% sure it is worth all the effort!!

Now I only hope that I won't run out of cash (remember, it is brand-new US Dollars only - no credit cards or ATMs will get you anywhere), since I found it quite challenging to estimate how much money I would need for the 3 weeks (surely, not having any plan didn't help...).

The next post will hopefully have some amazing pictures!! I AM VERY EXCITED!!!
