We dashed through Southeast Asia’s largest country in gasping speed of seven days and six nights. We also had to follow a pre-agreed itinerary. It would not be fair to say we did not have any freedom, like North Korea, because after all we could choose the speed and route provided, we reached the designated hotel at nightfall. The hotels varied in quality, and since we chose a more budget tour, they were never above 3 stars. It was a perk, nonetheless. Myanmar in October was still very hot and humid, it was reassuring to know there is a shower and air-conditioned room waiting for us at the end of each day. Though, in the comfort of our house-on-wheels, we have little to complain about, especially compared to the four bikers who were drenched in sweat and covered in dust within minutes of heading off.
