Teakbridges & Burma's Next Top Make-Up Artist - Mandalay Madness

The stay in Mandalay was only 2 days which included a trip to Mandalay Hill where we meet a Burmese chap rather keen to practice his English, topics included the political movement in Burma and the promiscuity of Burmese women. The view was breathtaking from the top and included a view of the State prison which was quite sobering.

The 2nd day included a visit to the worlds longest teak bridge where Mark and I got 'made-up' Burmese style by a talented young local girl - the teak bridge was up there with the best of the things I have seen so far..

Next stop the 12th Century ruins of Bagan...
