Reminiscence of a forgotten stash

Just saw this.

Bagan and the Weather 

And then a sudden wave of reminiscence. Bagan had since been reduced to a forgotten stash of photographs that I'd never cared to look back to until now. Suddenly I feel like scaling stupas and defiling sacred monuments again. Don't take me seriously - I never would. :X

This trip was made in 2012. And today, slightly more than a year on, Myanmar seems to be embroiled in something more sinister. I truly wonder if tranquility might return to the people who have lost it. A land of peace-loving Buddhism, if someone would come to the realization that it's a slippery slope once a virtue is lost, as it is around a huge part of Earth.
