You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults
By William Faulkner
Hello World
Burma, Februari 2017
Backpacker ke Myanmar alias Burma begitu berkesan karena pergi dengan teman yang super asik, walaupun cuma bertiga namun berisik dan ramainya kalah ama ratusan orang. Bahkan perjalanan Myanmar penuh dengan canda tawa, mandi gak mandi, makan gak makan dan yang penting seru! Jangan tanya lagi gimana persiapan ke Myanmar, udah dari lama-lama. Bahkan jauh-jauh hari sebelum keberangkatan aku sudah membuat rencana perjalanan Burma alias Myanmar. Perjalanan ke Myanmar direncanakan ke 4 Kota yaitu Yangoon, Inle, Old Bagan dan Mandalay. Hanya saja Melisa tidak ikut ke salah satu Kota karena harus balik ke Indonesia duluan sementara aku dan Ade menjejah 4 Kota di Myanmar.
Untuk rincian perjalanan Myanmar atau Itinerary Burma rute yang aku buat adalah Yangoon-Mandalay-Old Bagan-Inle namun pada akhirnya berubah drastis dengan rencana Ade sebab Melisa awalnya galau antara Inle atau Mandalay dan akhirnya memilih Inle.
