All I want for Christmas…

Is a bloody sunrise like this.

It’s still dark when I leave my hostel on my little electric scooter and I catch Nicolas on the way toward our most beautiful sunrise ever viewed.
On the way, a cool local stop us and direct us to a secret place. We follow him for a bit in a field then enter in a small stupa, took some dark and dangerously destroyed stairs to a small terrace. We climbed the facade, trying not to step on some wobbly stones and sat there to enjoy the view.

   
 So peaceful and calm, the mist slowly disappear under the first rays of light coming from behind the mountain in front of us. 

   
   
The first hot air balloons emerged far away, the dark shadows of the stupas start to appears and… Here it is. The sun.

   
    
   
The sun like I’ve rarely seen it. Magistral, gigantic and red. A Christmas sun. Full of warm vibes, ready to illuminate our day.

   
    
    
 If you hesitate to visit Myanmar I suggest you to just have a look at these pictures… I bet you’re going to check some cheap flight soon!
