Preparations in Bangkok



Bangkok is as beautiful and hot as always. The smell of incense mixed with the noise of the traffic... I like it here, but i can never stay too long.

I have taken some time to relax and get over the sleepless flight... and i have fixed the essentials for my trip to Myanmar:

1. Visum (a lot easier than anticipated, and apparently easier than most since i got the visa without having fixed my hotel or my flight)
2. Flight to Yangoon since there is no way one can ride a bicycle up to the border and enter the country (except for coming from china with a special visum from Kunming). Getting the flight was not so easy as apperently all the expats in Bangkok are celebrating x-mas in Burma...
3. Hotel in Yangoon to secure coming into the country upon arrival
4. Map of Myanmar after a realised that the maps in the lonely planet are just a bit too small to be sure that there is a road going where i want to go...

With the essential preparations in place, i now take it easy another 2 days in Bangkok... Shopping, meditation, eating good food.
