On the day I arrived at Lake Inle, I sat on a bench outside the hotel and watched the sunset.
As the sun went down between the mountains, it lit up the sky and clouds and made beautiful colors. The reason I visited Myanmar was that the owner of this hotel – Miss Ann – is anacquaintance of mine.
Miss Ann is a person of influence in an ethnicminority, the Intha Tribe, and works on behalf of the biggest temple in Lake Inle area, the Phaung Daw U Pagoda. She also manages this hotel and its restaurant. Additionally, she is involved in activities to build schools, orphanages and hospitals using the earnings from the business.
I have been inspired by her energy and idea, and hope that I can helpher activities, if it is within my power.
