Hi Dan!
I really enjoyed your article on Mandalay and hope to go there some day.
Overall, did you feel it was safe to travel around Myanmar? Did you see any women traveling alone?

I loved this article! When I visited China in the past, I loved going to the tea shops and participating in the tea tasting tradition. The process is relaxing, informational and a wonderful way to get a minute slice of an ancient culture. I'm looking forward to my next trip so I can try the pu'er green tea.
