I have always wanted to visit India so I have been very excited about this part of the journey. At the same time everyone has seen images of the traffic. The thought of riding my motorcycle in New Delhi and another 3,000 kilometers to Myanmar is frightening to say the least. On the bright side, after the very dull food throughout Central Asia I am more than excited to finally get to eat spicy food again.

Growing up I knew of Burma as the birthplace of my grandmother (born to American missionaries). Most of my adult life and traveling extensively in Asia I knew it as an inaccessible place. Then more recently the country changed its name to Myanmar and opened its boarders to tourists. Who would not have a desire to see this country? I can’t wait.
