Bagan, Myanmar Bagan - Myanmar's premiere archeological destination - streams out over 25 square miles and contains an astonishing array of more than 2,000 temples. Not as well known as Cambodia's Angkor Wat but every bit as impressive. There is nothing like surveying the Bagan plain from a temple-top perch at twilight.  Nothing.  The setting sun plants chiaroscuristic kisses on all buildings within its reach.  Beautiful and calming. Unfortunately, Myanmar's military government is in the process of creating replicas of many of the temples atop unexcavated ruins. (Their idea of "restoration".) The result is a Disneyfication (pretty, but characterless) of these historic gems.  Go before more irreparable damage is done. Date(s): July 2007. Album by David Kohl.
