| 2009-09-09 | Pat | 8 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks for your answer. Well, there are 2 border crossing between India & Myanmar & he was just wondering what the very latest entry + road conditions were. But when you say the MYAWADI crossing is for locals only then his only option will be to forget about Myanmar, try his luck going to China via Nepal & then enter Laos. Think this will still be cheaper, yet more exciting, than putting his bike on a plane & it will sure guarantee him a magnificent trip thru Tibet. Keep up the good work! |

| 2007-11-21 | susanne monson | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so very much. I wonder if you might also know if one can visit any of the private art collections in Rangoon, such as that of Shan Princess Daw Myint Myint Sein? Are there any architectural tous of the city? |
| 2007-11-19 | Jean | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for such a thoughtful and well considered and researched response. You have supplied both new information and more leads to follow |

| 2007-11-19 | Walt | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you, Nancy. I can let you know if you want, but please note that the market in Bangkok does not compare at all for this very particular item type. Chiang Mai is better, but it also does not compare well. Best. Walt |

| 2007-09-25 | Lawrence | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks again, Nancy. I agree with you. Staying right in the heart of the downtown area, around Sule Pagoda or nearby is much nicer. It's literally the heart of Yangon. |
| 2007-09-25 | Lawrence | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you, Nancy. Do you know where in the downtown area Beautyland is? Laurie |
| 2007-09-21 | Karen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you, if you hear anything of significance please don't hesitate to email me with additional information. I have alot of time and money invested in arranging this trip for my family and have wanted to go for a long time. I had to cancel the trip once already due to a parents illness and hope not to have to do so again. |

Expertise
One of my all-time favorites. I`ve been there more than 10 times (for at least a month each time), done the tourist loop five times and travelled to several permit-only areas. Aside from the Yangon, Bago, Inle, Kalaw, Mandalay, Pagan, Pyay route, I`ve travelled twice to Sittwe, Mrauk-U and the Chin areas and then down to Ramree Island, Ngapali and Pathein. Been on the wonderful boat from Bhamo to Mandalay and sojourned in the south a bit past Moulmein. Most recently I trekked in the northern Kachin state, camped and stayed with the Rawang tribe, for 2 weeks on the way to Phonekan Razi to see the Himalayas from the east. I`ve taken nearly every mode of transport--trains, planes, buses, boats, bikes, oxcarts, trekking on foot. I can answer logistical questions about airfare, hotels, restaurants, trekking, trains, restricted/open areas and, especially, cultural/religious sites and their significance.
Experience
The world is a fascinating place and nothing reveals this more thoroughly than exploring faraway lands. I've got a penchant for the exotic, a friendly face and a true curiousity about the people, art and life.
