Bagan

Unique site containing thousands of temple ruins, from around 1000 to 1200.

Lunch at a Burmese style buffet.  At first I was amazed at the waste, because we ate less than one tenth of this.  But my guide told me that whatever we didn't eat went right back into the pot.  The women working here were very chatty and open--it turned out that they were part of a group that sang at wedding receptions and other celebrations.
