Alang-alang dah duduk Myanmar, rugi lah kan kalau tak
jalan-jalan Myanmar.
Myanmar, negaranya besar, bersempadanan dengan banyak Negara-negara
lain. Maka, budayanya pasti
berbeza. This is one of the reasons why
one must come and explore Myanmar.
Memandangkan jarak dari satu Bandar ke satu Bandar amatlah
jauh, dan kalau mengambil bas sebagai transportasi, perjalanan biasanya
mengambil lebih kurang 10-12 jam.
Pilihan yang lebih cepat dan menjimatkan masa ada, iaitu kapal terbang.
Tapi, mahal la weh! Contohnya, Yangon ke Heho (lapangan terbang untuk ke Inle),
tiket pergi balik berharga USD300. Kalau
naik bas, tiket pergi balik ialah USD40.
Makanya, bagi menyahut seruan berjimat-cermat, relakanlah diri untuk
menaiki overnight bas. Kalau tak tersepit dengan kekangan waktu, why not kan?
Inle (Nyaungshwe) adalah Bandar ketiga on my ‘scratchmapMyanmar’.
Yang dah dilawati ialah Yangon (of course!) dan Taungoo.
So berbalik pada cerita Inle.
An impromptu trip, since we observe a long weekend here, due
to full moon holiday.
My initial plan was either to go to Vietnam (Vietjet offers
a reasonable price), Bangkok (Nok Air too) or Bagan. Balik Malaysia pun ade dalam plan, tapi
tiketnye mahal la plak kan. Inle was not
part of my research until I feel Bagan should
be keep for another trip (adalah sebabnya).
Internet sangat membantu and from my quick research, I was
able to plan the impromptu trip.
Return tickets were bought via JJ Express FB Page (bayar
bila ambil tiket dekat Aung Mingalar Highway Bus Station) : USD20/way
Hotel (Inle Star Motel) was book via Agoda. Bab hotel ni
haru skit. I’ve been eyeing few
recommended hotels (cheap one!) via Agoda, TripAdvisor and booking.com, until
2-3 days before the trip, I noticed that the shortlisted hotels are either sold
out or hiked up. Then, the next thing I
do was to just book the hotel, though it received some negative reviews. Hotel
rate : USD32/night. You can get cheaper
than this, actually.
Bab naik bas, aktiviti di Inle akan disambung kemudian.
