Along the journey I doze on and off . Once we reach the Inle Zone, the border guards board the bus and all foreigners have to pay USD10 as ‘entrance fee’. This is similar to Bagan. We all pay up and get a ticket as proof. Soon we reach the bus station. It is still dark …
Since I am in temple fatigue, I ask the driver to take me to somewhere where there are not temples. “This is an impossible request as Burma is about temples”, says the driver. “We visited 4 temples yesterday, and we will see more temple today,” he says. But I insist that I want to do …
