Best of 2007 #4. Myanmar trip

Myanmar in February was another spiritual trip. Here I am standing inside the Shwedagon Pagoda, which would become a key place in the country's civil protests.

Walking around Bagan city for 9 hours, with the amazing pagodas and the archaeological museum gave me the clarity I needed to make a big change in my life.

I hurt a human being in Bagan, and need to come clean. This couple gave me a ride to the airport when I was running late to get back to Yangon, I got lost walking around. I shut the car door on the wife's fingers by accident. Out of the all the moments, this is the one that stayed with me. I hope she forgave me by now.
