That ws how I felt when we went to Cuba. The people need the money, but the government is astoundingly obtuse to their inability to function. The old city of Havana is awash with historical buildings that are crumbling. There are a few that have been restored and they are beautiful. But the oppressiveness of the regime can be felt everywhere. It is probably the same in Burma, I mean Myanmar, even if it is rightist's vs. Cuba's leftist's.

We didn't feel any oppressiveness when we were in Myanmar, wonder how it would be now under the new regime.

Very nice set showing your accommodations, the lake, and sunset Joe. You would think that they would have had a at least a slight smile to greet their guests upon your arrival. They do appear a bit dour looking.

Thank you Vince, glad you like the spot also. Maybe they had a tough day - it didn't affect us, the service was great and the facilities quite accommodating - I really just noticed their "dour" appearance when working on the photos - maybe they were smiling all the time except when I was taking this shot, who knows!

What a fascinating place and beautiful location to stay. Thanks for showing the food and sleeping arrangements. It helps give we who are yearning to have been with you a better sense of place.
And perhaps the gong band had “gonged” in too many people to be happy about it!!

Really nice, Joe. Assuming that lake is not subject to severe weather.
Thank you Barbara - I just realized that the answer I wrote you yesterday somehow didn't get transmitted. I was just saying that other than for the regular and at times heavy monsoon rains, this area does not appear to have any adverse weather situations.
