Personal highlights

  1. Myin Ka Ba: sleepy village within Bagan, famous for lacquerware
  2. Gubyaukgyi: well-preserved temple with original wall paintings
  3. Giant lying Buddha: I nearly missed it, hidden in the back entrance
  4. Local people: I met the staff from Balloon over Bagan again
  5. My trip: my favorite place in Bagan due to the local people
