Train travel in Burma is said to be an adventure. And it is.
We spent 12-hours rocking along on the rails of what was supposed to be a six-hour trip between Bagan and the new and strange capital of Nay-Pyi-Taw. The train was actually a single car/engine combo--an engine built into one passenger coach car with room for around 40 (or 80, if you're not counting closely) on old wooden bench seats.
The best part was the scenery and the breeze from the open windows, and of course, the other passengers, who included the two kids above. They couldn't stop laughing and smiling the entire ride. So glad they were contagious, or it would have been one looooong, uncomfortable train trip.
Sounds like our REALLY old school buses. A good trip for you guys.
