Yesssss...this is it. I'm barely packed, bought my lonely planet 2 days ago, got some travelers checks, and am saying my goodbyes...apologies for the profanity, but FUCK ya! Its time to travel!!
so, to review the itinerary: Myanmar for 10 daya, India for 10, then home.
for those who don't know, I travel...light. And spontaneously :). Part of the appeal being detaching yourself from everything. Buddhism and Hinduism 101: detach yourself from the material world. Just getting back to my roots. Interesting fact: Steve jobs was Buddhist.
apparently Obama just came back from Myanmar (trade sanctions are officially open!) so clearly he asked me to tie up the loose ends after he did the prelims ;). No, but really, the country is changing. I bet 10 years from now ita going to look more and more like Thailand.
fun fact: credit cards are just pieces of plastic, they hold no value. Myanmar isn't recognized by OFAC (some financial institution). This is new, even for me!!
but I've come so far!! Who would have ever thought a little brown girl from Detroit would make her way to the depths of SE Asia? I definitely didn't. I didn't even realize traveling was a part of me until I didn't have it.
the first 3 days will suck. I'm going to miss running water and clean bathrooms and toilet paper (such an American concept). Buuuut, i gotta push through the pain; because then it gets so good.
until our next encounter my beloved fans
