1. A Burmese / Myanmar Adventure Begins

| Women of a village near Kengtung, Myanmar / Burma |
Soon we will be laughing with these women from a tribal village near Kengtung, Shan State, Burma/ Myanmar.
We will learn just which ethnic group they belong to. They could be the Akha, Shan, Wa, Eng or even belong to several Thai ethnic groups ( Tai Kuhn, Tai Nuea, Tai Lu).....I am ready for exploration.
Many travelers say that Kengtung is one of the most attractive towns in Burma/Myanmar and its way of life has changed little over the centuries. In terms of culture, it feels closer to the hill towns of northern Thailand and southern China and the tribal people follow a way of life that has changed little in centuries.
The city of Kengtung, the capital of the Golden Triangle region, is where Myanmar, China, Laos, and Thailand battled for control of the opium trade for most of the last century.
You are invited to travel with us. We look forward to your company.
*Note: I will use the former name Burma, instead of Myanmar, as the country name. It is a more desireable name. And George Orwell would agree with me!
