Love Definitely Lives Here A Myanmar Love Story
Love Definitely Lives Here A Myanmar Love Story

I am a sucker for love and adventure, so it was no surprise that I flew in for my dear friend, Jimmys wedding. I went from Bali to Myanmar. Myanmar is beautiful and rich in tradition.

The Taxi driver didnt let me be great. He didnt slow down for me to get a clear shot.

Review On KH Hotel, Kokkine
I found this hotel on booking.com, with the help of my friends mom. Due to strict immigration policies I was not allowed to stay with him and his family. Without a proper hotel address my visa would have been declined.
- 5 nights=325 USD.
-They accept VISA, CASH (USD)
-They offer laundry service
-THEY OFFER FREE BREAKFAST 7A.M.-11A.M.

Shwedagon Pagoda
The day I l flew in we went to see the most famous tourist attraction in Myanmar, Shwedagon Pagoda. I was blown away. Once, you enter the grounds of the temple, you have to be bare foot and quiet,because people are praying and in worship.







Fun Facts:
-I kept my entrance ticket and donation receipt
-I was the only black and Muslim woman at the temple and at his wedding, which is a usual occurrence with my travels, in and around Asia. This means I always stand out. I somehow always feel a sense of responsibility to be a proper representation of my race and religion, as they both get a lot of slack from the media.
Enough, about the process of how to get into Myanmar and all the other stuff. LETS TALK ABOUT LOVE. LETS TALK ABOUT THE BIGGEST DAY OF MY FRIENDS LIFE. Getting to see these two love birds get married was an honour. It is something I will forever cherish. I thank them for letting me be apart of their special day. Their wedding gave me hope;TRUE LOVE isnt EXTINCT.
I love weddings. This wedding was absolutely breathtaking. I got to wear Burmese traditional wear, thanks to my friends mom. His family were angels, whom welcomed me with open arms.
