Burma is a golden country of thousends of pagodes and the buddism.
From 16th to 30th March 2008, me and my wife made “Mingalabar Burma” tour (you pronounce it mingalaba and it means hello in Burmese), organized by Rallo Viaggi tour operator. It was an individual tour, just for us and we were accompanied at all times by the guide spoken Italian and by a driver who changed every time we moved along the country.
This site is a diary of our journey with many photos of beautiful places we’ve visited, chronologically ordered list of our movements.
We left Rome Fiumicino airport, on Sunday 16th, for Kuala Lumpur (11 hours flight time) and from there we’ve moved to Yangon (2 and a half hours flight time), the capital of Burma. I would like to precise, for those who are not so good in Geography that from 1989 Burma is officially called Myanmar. Also some cities and rivers in the meantime changed their names. Yangon isn’t even the capital anymore, although it is the biggest city by far. The capital has now been moved to Pyinmana, now called Naypyidaw ( king’s royal city).
