Starting this week, I’m looking up about Myanmar, which is the second country we will be going to for this Asian trip. I found a lot of similarities between Vietnam and Myanmar, or even South of China.
This week is actually the Thingyan Water Festival, which I assume is the same thing as the water festival in Yunnan province of China. This festival marks the beginning of Myanmar’s New Year and is intended as a metaphorical washing away of the previous year’s sins. I wish we could go earlier to witness or experience this festival. Not because I want to wash my sins away, but I really like water and I feel like it will be really fun just pour water on each other.
I’m sure we will still have other fun on this trip. Now, let me dream about pouring water on my friends. Haha!

If you really want to, I’m sure we can find some water… Plus, it will probably be hot enough that the water would be nice.
