I'm in Kinpun, which, as you all know is the base camp for Mount Kyaiktiyo, better known as the Golden Rock. Now if I'd taken one of the pickups to the top if the hill and seen the Buddhist Disney land around the rock I would have felt a little bit short changed. The best thing for me was the walk, which I wasn't really expecting. But yeah, six hours of sweaty jungle mountain. Good walk.
About half way up I realised that what I really needed on the pilgrimage path to a Buddhist holy site was a bamboo replica of an AK47. Luckily the stalls on the way had this covered.
In other news, I had a traditional Burmese massage. I didn't enjoy it. That's an understatement.
