Day 7 - Yangon: Going Home


We had all the fun we could get in one single morning and all of us have had our fill of scenery and people shots.
Of course there could never be enough.
But the time has come for the home run.
We walked towards Traders Hotel, with a contented heart, knowing that the past 7 days have been well-spent and well-enjoyed.

Here, a few of us stood by the fencing of Traders Hotel expanding our last few shots of ammunition.

And as Kernik and I stood side by side with LowLights some steps away, I decided to finish off one last round of Panning.
Certainly no standard here. But just as a parting shot to remember the side of Traders Hotel by.

And to remember one heck of a Burmese chap who took us through the past 7 days...
Here is a Model shoot of U Ko Ko Aye.

T R A V E L O G U E - The End

The stretch of seven days in Myanmar was never enough.
But I guess all of us made up for it by participating in the post-trip online photosharing which culminated in all the four fabulous parts of the threads.

Like many trips, Murphy's Law prevailed.
Things that could've gone wrong, did. But at the end of the day, nothing was unsurmountable.
And I believe every one would agree with me that SgTrekker's Melvin and our Burmese guide Ko Ko Aye did a most fantastic job.

Looking back at these most memorable one week in Myanmar, I am sure every single one of us have derived experiences that are common,
and those that are special to each individual. But one thing for sure, I am certain each one has gotten that something extraordinary back from
this lovely land - not only in the form of unforgettable pictorial works, but also the memory of having participated in an adventure of a different kind.

I am very thankful to every one in the team for allowing me the liberty to post all my anecdotes, and for tolerating my loquaciousness.
Many are opinions of mine, and are not common representations of the general opinion of the group. And if there are any parts that are factually incorrect,
or are inaccurately written or presented in any way, I ask for your forgiveness and certainly for your correction.

But one thing I am going to say, which I'm sure will never be wrong is, this has been one wonderful trip of a lifetime,
made even better by a terrific group of companions, all so accommodating and united in the single passion of photography, and
even in the face of hiccups, have been most tolerating.
You have all been wonderful travel mates and both SereneXMM and I long to travel with you all again.

Finally and most importantly, I ask all of us in the team to give our wonderful organiser SgTrekker, and our Tour Leader Melvin,
a big round of applause for they have done a smashing job in bringing us to this part of the world, and showing us aspects of Burmese life unvisited by usual tourists.

With that I end this humble story that has spanned four long parts.

Till we next meet again, to one and all, I wish you:

A Happy, Healthy, Meaningful & Fruitful
Year of the Rabbit!
