wow cool finds Jo

those look like lost treasures :eek:

is Myanmar receptive to tourism?

[Jo]

Yeah, there must be lots of hidden treasures in Myanmar/Burma that we never heard of :)

I think tourists there are somewhat restricted to where in the country they can go, and from what I heard the locals are not allowed to communicate freely with tourists. Too bad, but one restriction has been lifted - there is no longer a compulsory exchange requirement of US$200 dollars to FEC money as you cross the border. Also I think that the number of flights to Yangoon are increasing.

Yes, those are temples. Here are some more from the ancient temple city of Bagan
