Yangon. These photos were taken at Shewegon Paya in Yangon. Around the central stupa are a shrine and temple dedicated to the day of the week on which you were born. Above right is Jamie in his Longyi frock worshipping his tuesday lion with lashings of cholera-ridden water. According to the charts I am a Thursday mouse. Is this right Mum? I'd prefer a Sunday or Friday...
These are the Temples of Bagan in Central Myanmar. They were built between the 11th and 13th centuries, and there are literally thousands. They seem to appear from nowhere as you explore the plains. We spent our first day on horsecart with a guide. We also explored on foot to find some cats.
Proof we are still alive and well!
Much love Els xxx
