HeyHeyGourmet Says: During our trip to Burma, we spent a few days at Inle Lake. Like most tourists visiting the area, we spent a day on the lake in a long tail boat. We enjoyed watching the fishermen at work. Fishermen from this area are famous for their ‘leg-rowing’ which involves them...

euzkadi Says: It´s very pleasant to see the farmers way of life on the lake. Long boats transporting villagers, people fishing, harvesting. Small villages along the way with the backround of the beautiful Shan mountains, a very nice and peaceful experience.

View Point Restaurant: Cleanest Food in Town

Century Travel: Local Food Surprise

Helpfulness
At my Nyaung Shwe hotel, we had a demo of burmese traditional dance and a fire juggler... do these count as 'nightlife?' Well, at least it was entertaining and informative. There's really not a lot else going on there. Good star-watching. Verrry peaceful and quiet

vuzu Says: Most or all of the guides from Inle will bring you to visit these small cigar factory where you'll be served will a cup of hot tea. The burmese girls who work at the cigar factory will demostrate how to make the local cigar. I've tried two of those small factory and they...
The Karen people of eastern Burma
GenuinelyCurious Says: I'm a little conflicted by taking pictures like these.At one level, it's a little like a human zoo. At another, a vaild sociological, historical documentation of a practice that I assume is going to go the way of foot binding.
