World Geography: Asia: Burma (All Things Beautiful)

Fishermen of Ingle Lake from Burma Tours
"The floodplain of the Irrawaddy River at Pagan dotted with ancient pagodas; the leg-rowing fishermen of Ingle Lake;

Reclining Buddha of Pegu from Weather Forcast 365
the giant reclining Buddha of Pegu;

Golden Spires of Shwedragon Pagoda from Asia Explorers
the golden spires of the Shwe Dragon Pagoda; the morning mists over Rangoon harbor -all were the stuff of lifelong memories." -World Food Cafe, Chris and Carolyn Caldicott

We enjoyed a lovely Burmese-style dinner which included Salmon, Edamame, Lemongrass Rice and Cucumber and Sesame Seed Salad.

We learned what the flag of Burma looks like and that their government is a military dictatorship.

We learned a little about Buddhism.
