Bagan

The largest gathering in the square meter of pagodas and temples in the world, more than 2,400 pagodas are assembled on a surface of 30 square kilometers. Construction started in the 10th century and continuing even today, in order to improve his karma. The heat is absolute and the drought turns the landscape into a desert of dust and sand in anticipation of the next rains in June normally ... for our first day we decided to visit the more remote temples and rent it for a cart horse. Excellent decision because these dusty roads are almost impassable by bike, and I dare not imagine the ordeal that would represent. We are therefore happy to see beautiful giant Buddha lying down, the beautiful murals of more than 700 years of climbing pagodas and discover breathtaking scenery and see a beautiful sunset. The next day we rent bicycles to visit other temples accessible from the road. We bring our hammocks also thinking to rest during the hot hours of the day under the trees beside the River. In temples, we meet children who choose to guide us and invite us into their viIlage to their families. Properties of bamboo and coconut along the river, surrounded by plastic, a few pigs in freedoms, some cultures and not much else ... poverty appears just and kindly old watch ... The Mark is regarded emphatically, and everything that we can leave our bags. We're hot and a little tired from our visits. We end up getting installed between the poles of the pagoda in the village with children who play with us. We are treated like guests, they help us put our hammocks, we bring peanuts ... Before leaving, they want to invite us back to eat the next day at 10am, probably because our unexpected arrival did not allow them to We offer dining that first day. We gladly accept, but knowing they will surely give us a dinner that cost them dear ... we can not refuse and we wish to share a moment of their lives. Children accompanies us on their bicycle to the town and we offer them to eat. The next morning, we meet on the road coming to meet us, happy in our course, we are greatly expected ... As we feared, we eat and they look at us ... we're a little embarrassed but do honor to their simple and delicious meals, taking care however to leave as much as possible without seeming. I am confident that our remains will be buried by later. We brought a big watermelon as a gift (some vitamins) and all the little things that can separate us ... our backpack is already full of the essentials. Our few gifts seem really thin but fortunately the children are happy with little things. We leave followed by children who still want to be entertained .... They leave us before the board, disappointed because we do not want to invite them to eat again ... I can not stand to be considered for my wallet and yet I feel selfish for not giving more. It is difficult to find a balance.
Der absolute Wahnsinn, ich habe eine enorme na Pagoden Dichte von Tempel und wirklich nicht erwartet! Die Hitze ist da fast unerträglich Regenzeit die schon im Oktober zu ende ging und so machten wir uns in einem Pferdekarren auf die Gegend zu erkunden. Ich glaube man kann hier wirklich Tage ohne alles verbringen Zusehen und hätten wir nicht einen guten Wagenlenker eine Karte und dabei gehabt wären wir wahrscheinlich verdurstet oder hätten wieder mit großen Schwierigkeiten zu unserem Guesthouse zurückgefunden. Doch unser dank guten Planung konnten wir am Ende unseres Tages noch einen herlichen Sonnenuntergang genießen und bevor wir erschöpft Ausgebrannt spät am Abend zurück kehrten. Am zweiten Tag auf dem wir blieben Hauptweg und konnten uns mit dem Fahrrad fortbewegen. Sahen wir wieder einige spektakuläre Bauten und Hilfsbereite fanden drei Kinder, die uns gute leisteten und Gesellschaft als Fremdenführer begleiteten one. Dank fanden wir Ihnen die Tempel gesuchten schlossen schneller und Freundschaft mit der Familie, welche uns am dritten und letzten Tag dann auch noch zum Essen familiaren bei sich zuhause einlud. Ihne machten wir zum Dank der kleine Geschenke entbehren Sachen die wir konnten und ich denke Sie sich darüber freuten.
