Caption: at the beginning, it was about a book; 'the glass palace' written by amitav ghosh. it was about an obsession for being able to walk on the longest teak footbridge--u bien bridge which was used as the cover of fhe novel. back then i had been dreaming of traveling to burma for witnessing a burmese walking on the bridge with the bicycle on their side.

Caption: but... just like rudyard kipling said burma is unlike any land you know about. from the moment when your foot step the ground in myanmar, you are in for a truly unique experience.
the experience last forever and it keeps calling you to come back to this land. many travelers say myanmar is kind of the land that once you have visited it, you will always attempt to make a comeback.

Caption: it is true. burma is a home of calmness.

Caption: in the end, burma is more than a dream that had come true. more than an obsession that had been checked. burma made me experiencing two journeys at the same time: external and internal. farther and further.
