Comic #22 – The Last Sunset

Comic # 22 – 1 March 2017

Before we travel, we always research and create a list of the top experiences we want to have wherever we are! This gives us a challenge to do as much as possible on our adventures.

*Our list for Burma included:

1. Tea Salad – Burma is one of the only countries in the world that consumes the whole tea leaf! (It was a little bit sour, but very good)
2. Myanmar Beer – we especially wanted to have a pint at the world-famous Strand Hotel in Yangon
3. Wear Tanaka – this is a sandalwood paste that is popular in Burma. People wear it on their cheeks to act as a cosmetic, insect repellent, and sunblock
4. Wear a Longyi – a longyi is the national outfit of Myanmar. It’s a skirt-like article of clothing that both men and women wear daily. It’s much more common than pants. It’s nearly always required to wear one when visiting a temple.
5. Cruise down the Irawaddy – take a relaxing day-long cruise from Mandalay to Bagan down the slow muddy waters of the famous Irawaddy River
6. Milk Tea – have a cup of famous Myanmar Milk Tea
