Trips to Myanmar, 2016
I made my first Myanmar visit when I was visiting Chiang Rai, the border of Thailand in early 2016, realising that there were a 24-hour walk-in visa (I called it the "entrance fee" because no papers or documents were issued, and the border officials only took my photo with an iPad.) After a 2-hour walk in Tachileik, I had a rough idea of having another trip which came true in September the same year.
On uncertainty
When the earthquake strongly struck north Myanmar, many of us were shocked that Bangkok, the capital of Thailand with increasing number of skyscrapers, was also greatly affected. Tall buildings oscillated and even collapsed. People there escaped to outdoors to stay safe.
