You can get a break from all the high-tech gadgets that surround us all the time; and which most of us (including me, I’ll confess) take for granted. It’s refreshing to read about children who can have fun without electronic toys and games; and about a people who are poor, yet kind and generous.
Myanmar’s annual rainfall is about 98 inches. That makes New Orleans look downright arid! If cycle touring in the rain isn’t for you, try to avoid the months of May through October. Average annual temperatures hang between 72 and 81 degrees Fahrenheit. If you feel the cold easily, a lightweight jacket might be wise for those low-70s days.
The wildlife lover will find many species in Myanmar. Parrots and other birds; deer; tigers and leopards. I, for one, will be happy to steer clear of the reptiles. Turtles, OK; pythons and cobras, no, thank you very much.
Myanmar is primarily Buddhist, and there are many temples to visit. Be sure to keep shoulders and knees covered should you visit a temple; and don’t forget to remove your shoes before entering.
Unfortunately, as of September, 2023, Myanmar is under a Level 4 travel advisory; aka Do Not Go There. What a pity; Burma sounds like a beautiful place!
ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
