As Julia and I ventured from town to town, I note the continuous theme of figuring out where to go and how to get there. Most of the time people tell us how things work. For example, we were told You take a shared taxi or pick up from a certain place in one town. Thr difference is that with us, if something doesn't seem right or doesn't work well for us, we work hard to look for other options. If we can't find them, we try to create them. I realize that, with our opportunities we have had, we feel free to think beyond our immediate limitations.
It was especially interesting in myanmar where there is not a lot of I fluency from foreigners. The life they live there is definitely modernizing in certain ways but not all ways.
Since I was small, I have learned to apply myself, to learn, and to ask question always knowing that the effort I put forward would affect the end result. The way I was brought up was noticeable because it was not the way things were for the people in myanmar.
This difference was evident different instances during our travel in Myanmar.
