So Many firsts!

Hi there,

As I'm writing this, I'm trying to recapture all the experiences that we had so far. So many firsts, in Bagan we did our first ballooning flight over the temples which was an absolute unforgetable experience. Absolutely amazing. From there We went to Inle lake were we saw beautiful nature and villages build on water. For real if you don't have a boat  you would be stuck  forever. From there we went to Mandalay to get to Thailand, Chang Mai. That was a shocker, Chang Mai is like the US but with Asians, seriously on every corner there's the holy trinity: McDonalds, Burger King and Starbucks. It's such a huge different compared to Myanmar where cold water was a Gods sent. And here we have everything that we're used to in the Western world. With quite the prices that go with it. Cause it ain't cheap. Stil cheaper then the Netherlands but not that much. Don't get me wrong, we totally went for it. We had McDonalds went to the huge shopping malls and had great Italian food. As for what you can do here: I petted a tiger😄! So exciting, that was yet another unforgetable experience. As was the elephant camp where they can be in their natural surroundings, and not get abused very importent! Cause it still happens a lot here in Asia. So if I can contribute to that not happening anymore, and see this beautiful creatures in their own nature, I say yes!! Further we went to this little hippie villages called Pai, ooh the fun we had with that name WOW. Were we rented, wait for it, Scooters. Yes I was on a scooter and I'm alive. I went slow but steady, Frank was kind of annoyed , He said that grannies went faster! I said: sorry that I don't have a deathwish like you. But we had great fun cruising through town. stil who fell on her bum by making an amazingly failed u-turn: ME, thank god for not being a dare devil cause I was unharmed just a few little bruises, and I'm ready to go again. 😄

But there is also a downside to first, as I'm writing this Frank is in our room slowly dying of food poisoning. Poorthing, the plan was to go to Laos today but we're not gonna make it. So we will be staying here till he's fully recovered. That said I'm gonna take care of my husband.

Talk to ya soon,

Love J
