here are my last few pictures of Inle lake. this is my hotel! right on the lake and so it's just damn cold at night! but in the morning it's very picturesque because i get to see the sunrise from my bed! and it rises over the mountains surrounding the lake and, eventually, over the waters of the lake. you rarely get to see and feel such serenity these days and i treasured every minute i spent there, especically at Inle lake. particularly since i'm such a water person. i love the sea and water!
this is the last of my pictures, as seen from within the boat that we used to get around the lake. mind you, it's a huge lake and we took 45 minutes to get from our hotel to another floating restaurant in the middle of the lake. ahha. still, very soothing.
all in all, Myanmar was a surprise and more than that, it was a soothing getaway for me. i loved it but if you can't appreciate the countryside or if you don't see the beauty in taking walks around pagodas that have stood for centuries.. places like these don't offer shopping and they don't have wild entertainment, but they have awesome customer service and warm people. i loved Myanmar and it was certainly, one of the most beautiful places i've visited. if it doesn't appeal then don't go really.
i'd hate to see the stark and untouched beauty of the country be wasted on someone who wouldn't appreciate it. seriously.
