Mountains of Burma. Fuji Velvia, August 2001.

In August 2001 I spent two weeks traveling in Burma (Myanmar). It was probably the place where I saw the fewest foreign travelers of anywhere I’ve ever been. The first week I was there, I don’t think I saw any other than in passing and at a distance. If you are looking for a place in Asia that still allows you to get off the beaten track so to speak, Burma is probably where you should go. Friendly people and beautiful scenery mix with bone-jarring long bus rides and a general lack of freedom to make it an eye opening experience. Here are a few scans of some of the scenery.
