I’m in Pagan right now and it’s about 3 in the afternoon. I’ve had lunch and tried going for a bike ride with no success earlier. For some reason I kept breaking bikes. Now I’m sitting in the lobby trying to think of something fun to write about. I can say that the trip here was one of those train rides that I absolutely love; long, bumpy, no services, and hot. The trip from Yangon to Pagan is about 500 kilometers, and it took us 16 hours to make the trip. There were areas along the journey that we were barely moving at all, which was okay since I knew that unlike when we were going faster, that we would stay on the tracks. I’ve got one photo that I think shows the sway of our heads during the trip.

The rest of the time from the last entry to this one has been a mix of sightseeing and being on a train or bus.
