Some more Myanmar images… The Golden Rock

How about this !  The Golden Rock.  A place of great pilgrimage for the Burmese, so there is a whole town built around it.  On top of a mountain, you are ferried up on the backs of trucks .. like this .. wooden planks to sit on, very cosy and cheerful and happy to welcome forangs as well  Hairpin corner after hairpin corner.  Just don’t look down.

At night, there are thousands of candles lit.  Pyromaniac heaven.


If you are not up to much walking, you can be carried around.  I declined the offer.

A local … I don’t know if that is a religious sort of outfit.  Quick shot out of my hotel window.

Amazon, early version.

Disembarkation at the bottom of the mountain… you just climb out over the sides.  I never found if there is jam at Moe Moe Super Jam !  There is some pretty Burmese curly writing to observe too.
