Hi Ron,
Indeed I have and it was one of the most memorable places I have visited.
Everyone talks about the Great Wall and Angkor, but few talk as much about
Pagan, yet the sight of those wats scattered across the plain have to be
one of the truly great wonders of the world. When I was there it felt as if I
had the whole place to myself and going between the wats on an old bicycle
and then exploring each in turn was an unforgettable experience.
Up in the old hill station at Mammyo, you still got around town by stagecoaches.
I remember grass hopper kebabs were popular and late at nights kids
would be out catching insects under the lights which would then become a fried
delicacy.
It's incredible the extent of the old British Raj and how remnants of its
presence still live on.
Would love to hear those stories!!!
Best Regards
Gary
