We arrived at Mandalay airport to find everything closed. When we got to our hotel our original plan had been to book either bus or train tickets to Bagan for the following day then spend the afternoon checking out the palace and a few other sights around town. Three problems with that: no trains or buses would run for at least two more days, all the sights were closed for the holiday, and the amount of water being used for Thingyan made Songkran look like it had occurred after a 50 year drought! Basically, a lot of stuff would be closed, prices would be higher, and moving around the country would be harder. But with that resolved we ventured out without cameras to poke around the town and get dinner after dark. After a heck of a breakfast buffet at our hotel — it seems that most hotels include some kind of breakfast here — our taxi picked us up at While it was more expensive, it was still a pretty cool experience. After all the scam attempts throughout our time in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand we were pretty worried about what we had gotten into, but it turned out the offer was legitimate, cost-free, and part of him apologizing for taking up our time. Apparently, he usually teaches English there and had to stop by to tell them class was cancelled because he was driving us. We even met a few of his students. Susu turned out to be a great guide. He explained that the monastaries play a really important role in Myanmar because government education and hospitals are too expensive for a lot of people and monastaries fill this gap free of charge. He learned English through a monastery as well. Monks are everywhere in Myanmar and many people — adults and children — will spend time as a monk several times during their life. As we understand it, they are free to come and go as they please but they must follow the rules governing monastic life while at the monastary. Since we had resigned ourselves to paying the cost of a private taxi, we resolved to see as much as we could along the way to Bagan. On our way we tried to visit a famous teak bridge near Mandalay. This is as close as we got. Crowds were insane! There are two kinds these: the official ones — which often look incredibly unofficial, and the impromptu Thingyan toll when a group of partiers blocks the road until they are given a small bill for beer money. There is also a part of the road that passes through a village where most of the population is at the side of the road flagging cars to stop and begging. We did not fully understand the explanation behind this but it seems there must be an underlying reason as the situation is far from the norm. It was also pretty intimidating as there were so many of people that we got the sense that if the car stopped it would quickly be mobbed. Susu explained that giving money is counterproductive as many of those begging are children doing so at the behest of their parents who are keeping them out of school to beg. This is not the first time we have heard this story in S. The scenery on the way there was quite a surprise. It is very flat and quite dry — of course we were there in the dry season. Many of the fields were plowed up dry brown dirt and were lined with palm trees. A strange contrast in our minds. Susu explained that they tap the trees for palm wine which is sold at stands. He even stopped so Blake could try some. It was afternoon so it was pretty strong and had a very unique sour flavour. We arrived in Bagan about five hours after leaving Mandalay and got dropped at our hotel. It was still really hot and the water fights were still raging so we opted to sit at the restaurant and chat with another traveler while watching the festivities rather than venture out exploring. We came to Bagan for the temples and stupas. There are thousands scattered across the plain and most of them are open to the public. The morning after our arrival we headed out at AM on rented pedal bikes to catch sunrise over the temples. We also learned that, at least in the dry season, these tracks have sections of loose sand that are like trying to ride a bike across a beautiful soft beach — not easy! Eventually, we found a temple with a decent view and climbed up for sunrise. It was pretty amazing. What we found was that where Angkor temples were amazing for their individual scale and intricacy, Bagan temples are amazing because of the sheer number of them. They are literally everywhere you look. After sunrise, we went back to our hotel for breakfast before setting out to explore. They were all pretty neat and many of them had narrow staircases hidden away inside that led to higher levels or the roof. One even had a staircase to the second level, but to go higher you would have to cross a narrow ledge twenty feet over the stone floor to get to the next staircase. Definitely one of our more interesting bike rides. We took a break to cool off in the afternoon and then headed out for a few more temples and sunset. It was the Myanmar new year so there were many locals and domestic tourists also visiting the temples. On several occasions people asked for photos with us. At one temple there was actually a lineup and we were posing with different people for over fifteen minutes! Also, some of those kids were really cute! Because we were usually in the pictures this is the only one we got with other people. By the time we got back after dinner we were pretty templed out. There are so many of them! It was really cool and we could have spent another day or so looking at some of the more remote ones. It appears that most of the detail work was done on plaster over the brick that has since been destroyed, but even without these details the temples at Bagan are worth a look. Finally, a place to sleep. Attack of the tiny children! We escaped largely unscathed, but we saw two backpackers, complete with packs, looking a little discouraged and totally soaked. Relaxing in the relative safety of after-dark Mandalay. The tea spread. A Thingyan road toll stop. Thingyan party time! Ox carts are still used to haul water in many areas. A mixture of palm trees and freshly ploughed fields passed us on our way to Bagan. Settled in to wait for sunset. The Bouchards for sunset over Bagan. Subscribe Subscribed. Sign me up.
