Spontaneous Solo Trip to Myanmar — Yangon | Old Bagan | New Bagan | Inle Lake | Slow Train to Thazi
I had booked an 8-day trip to Myanmar for October 2018, but it slipped my mind. A week before, Google Calendar sent a reminder to catch my flight to Myanmar (Burma). I contemplated not going, being slightly tight on funds. But the flights had been paid for so I booked all accommodations at a budget of less than $15 each night. And took off. One of the most memorable travels this is.

Irrawaddy — the main river of Myanmar. It is all, the largest transport route, the water source for the rice fields, and the object of worshipping.
In Myanmar, there are pagodas at every step.
They build them not for mercantile reasons, but for the purpose of improvement of their karma. This is their way to pray for forgiveness of their sins. The more sins, the taller should be the stupa. This is why, the biggest pagodas were built on the orders of the most cruel and treacherous kings, that were in blood up to the elbow.
The City of Ava, known also as Inva, was founded in the 14th century, at the confluence of the Myinge River with the Irrawaddy River. Up to the year of 1824, it was the capital of Burma and occupied an extensive territory. Only separate ruins remained until now — widely spaced from each other.
On the opposite bank of the Irrawaddy River, in 1824, the city of Mandalay was founded. It was the capital of Burma, during the period of history when the country was being gradually developed by the English colonialists.
Mandalay - the spiritual capital of Myanmar. It is exactly here, where the most highly esteemed Buddha's statue is kept — Buddha Mahamuni or the Great Wiseman.
One more holy site - the Hill of Mandalay. A stone stairway of 999 steps, leads to its top.
11 km from Moniwa, in the 1930's, they built the temple complex of Mohnin Thambudha, occupying the territory of 15 hectares. The main temple - Sambudkh Kat Kiyav - is filled with Buddhas of all types and sizes: from tiny 10-centimeter ones up to 2-3-meters high. They were all counted. According to these exact calculations, there are 582 363 of them here. They possibly planned to reach a million, but there wasn't enough money or persistence.
In the religious complex Laykiun Setkyar, there are much fewer statues. But what kind! The standing Buddha is 116 meters, the lying is slightly smaller - only 90. The gilded stupa, standing at the bottom of the hill, looks tiny. But it is as high as a nine-storey house.
Bagan — one of the main tourist destinations not only of Myanmar, but also of all Indochina. The ruins of the ancient city occupy a triangle of about fifty square kilometers, on the bend of Irrawaddy river.
The State of Shang — one of the national regions of Myanmar. The primary population here are not Burmans, but Shanas. Part of them continues to conduct armed battles, in honor of the creation of their independent state. Huge territories of the Shang State, still remain out of control of the central government. Only the triangle between Khalo, Pindaya and Inle lake, is open for tourists.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Buddhism in Myanmar is practiced by 90% of the country's population, and is predominantly of the Theravada tradition. It is the most religious Buddhist country in terms of the proportion of monks in the population and proportion of income spent on religion. Adherents are most likely found among the dominant Bamar people, Shan, Rakhine, Mon, Karen, Zo, and Chinese who are well integrated into Burmese society. Monks, collectively known as the sangha, are venerated members of Burmese society. Among many ethnic groups in Myanmar, including the Bamar and Shan, Theravada Buddhism is practised in conjunction with nat worship, which involves the placation of spirits who can intercede in worldly affairs.
With regard to the daily routines of Buddhists in Myanmar, there are two most popular practices: merit-making and vipassanā. The weizza path is the least popular; it is an esoteric form somewhat linked to Buddhist aspiration that involves the occult. Merit-making is the most common path undertaken by Burmese Buddhists. This path involves the observance of the Five Precepts and accumulation of good merit through charity and good deeds (dana) to obtain a favourable rebirth. The vipassana path, which has gained ground since the early 1900s, is a form of insight meditation believed to lead to enlightenment. The weizza path is an esoteric system of occult practices (such as recitation of spells, samatha and alchemy) believed to lead to life as a weizza (also spelt weikza), a semi-immortal and supernatural being who awaits the appearance of the future Buddha, Maitreya (Arimeitaya).
Фильм ИНДОКИТАЙ без виз - 3 серия. МЬЯНМА
Иравади— главная река Мьянмы. Это и крупнейшая транспортная артерия, и источник воды для рисовых полей, и объект поклонения.
Город Ава, известный также как Инва, был основан у впадения реки Мьинге в Иравади в 14 веке. Вплоть до 1824 года он был столицей Бирмы и занимал обширную территорию.
На самом почетном месте стоит пагода Сун У Понья Шин. Денег не пожалели. Ступу покрыли золотом. В храме при ней установили гигантскую статую сидящего Будды.
Мандалай - духовная столица Мьянмы. Именно здесь хранится самая высоко почитаемая статуя Будды — Будда Махамуни или Великий Мудрец.
Еще одно святое место - холм Мандалай. На его вершину ведет каменная лестница с 999 ступенями.
В Мьянме до сих пор много районов, закрытых для иностранцев. Сравнительно недавно разрешили въезд в город Монива, находящийся в 136 км к северо-западу от Мандалая. До него можно доехать на обычном рейсовом автобусе.
Паромная переправа связывает город Монива с расположенной на противоположном берегу реки Чиндвин деревней Няунгбин.
От пристани отправляются маршрутки к пещерам По Вин Даунг.
В 11 км от Монивы в 30-х годах построили храмовый комплекс Мохнин Тхамбудхе, занимающий территорию 15 гектаров. Главный храм - Самбудха Кат Кияв - заполнен Буддами всех видов и размеров: от крошечных 10-сантиметровых до 2-3-метровых.
Баган — одна из главных туристических достопримечательностей не только Мьянмы, но и всего Индокитая. Руины древнего города занимают треугольник площадью около пятидесяти квадратных километров на излучине реки Иравади.
Огромные территории штата Шан по-прежнему остаются вне контроля центрального правительства. Для туристов открыт только треугольник между Кало, Пиндая и озером Инле.
В 40 км от Кало на берегу озера Боуталоке находится городок Пиндая. В его окрестностях много карстовых пещер. В самой большой из них устроили что-то типа огромного склада изображений Будды.
Для треккеров в штате Шан проложены десятки маршрутов. Но трекинг разрешен только под контролем официальных гидов. А на ночь туристы могут останавливаться только в «сертифицированных» для приема иностранцев домах.
На берегах озера Инле живет около 70 тысяч человек. Их называют интха - «дети озера».
В городке Няунг-Шве есть гостиницы для туристов. Но еще больше здесь монастырей. Они занимают целый квартал города.
Самый заметный и отличающийся своим архитектурным обликом монастырь - Ядана Ман Аун Пайя.
Буддистские монастыри на озере Инле строят так же, как и дома — на сваях. А самый большой их них построили на искусственном острове.
Монастырь Пхаунг Дау У — не только самый большой, но и самый оригинальный с архитектурной точки зрения, и самый почитаемый.
Путешествие по Мьянме завершается там же, где и началось две недели назад — в Янгоне.
Настраивайтесь на длительный просмотр и наслаждайтесь.
