Bagan, Myanmar

Myanmar is a country full of surprises.

Compared with other countries in South East Asia, it’s still uncontaminated and not exploited yet. Probably it won’t be so for that long.

The beauty of Myanmar dwells right in those places that haven’t been industrialized yet, still maintaining that fascinating atmosphere of simplicity.
