Having spent two and a half weeks in Myanmar, I put it to the dice whether I should leave or see out the other 9 days of my visa.
Also, if I was going to stay, where should I go?
Watch to find out!

LEAVING BAGAN FOR KALAW

ROLL THE DICE – Charles Bukowski
"If you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.
if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.
if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.
do it, do it, do it.
do it.
all the way.
all the way.
you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is."

So, the dice had instructed me to go to Myanmar and like the faithful servant that I am, I obeyed. I knew, however, that it wasn’t just a case of booking a flight. I…

I’d been told previously that Vang Vieng is Laos’ equivalent of Thailand’s Pai. It’s not. Not even slightly. So if you’re going expecting this, think again.
If you want to know the truth, however, read on….
The only thing I can think of…

Having spent just over a week in Vang Vieng and a couple of weeks in total in Laos, I felt it was time for a change.
The dice rolls in recent weeks had been based on relatively small decisions – what to eat, where to go, activities to try and…
