Rob and Yuehong in Burma, 2005

Rob and Yuehong in Burma, 2005 - 10

Yuehong and I got together in late 2003 having met on the steam powered narrow gauge logging railway in Manchuria earlier in the year. We were based in China from 2004 until 2010 when we sold up and moved to the UK, at the same time acquiring a second home in Penang and this page links to a series of pages covering our trips to Burma.

Each of the links below leads to an introductory page with links to all the other pages contemporary with it. If you want the 'general interest' travel stuff (which most of you will) then I recommend you start with the 2010 reports and work backwards!

	Temples of Steam 2005 - Our first rice mill investigation, in Mon State and Irrawaddy Division, this will be too nerdish for most readers!
	Temples of Steam 2006 Our second rice mill investigation, in Sagaing Division, Mon State, Bago Division, Yangon Division and Irrawaddy Division, this will be too nerdish for most readers! However, anyone would enjoy reading about our Luxury Irrawaddy River Cruise.
	Temples of Steam 2007, Our third rice mill investigation, in Sagaing Division, Kachin State, Mon State and Bago Division, this will be too nerdish for most readers! However, anyone would enjoy reading about our dancing the Masochism Tango on another Luxury Irrawaddy River Cruise.
	Rob and Yuehong in the Golden Land 2009, Part 1 - This includes more general reports of the trip (OK, a blog) as well as much stationary steam. An amazing journey north to south through Burma, starting in China, with many a side track along the way.
	Green to Gold, Rob and Yuehong in the Golden Land 2009, Part 2 - Lots of unusual experiences travelling off the beaten track, mixed up with the usual rice mill nonsense.
	Hastings, Domesday..., Burma 2010 - Burma in transition and the rice harvest in Mon State among the usual range of unusual experiences.
	Temples of Steam 2010 - clearing up all sorts of rice mill loose ends especially in Irrawaddy Division. It could be sub-titled 'messing around in boats'.
