I finally did my tax return this evening and unfortunately I will not be getting a big fat tax return this year, mainly because I haven’t earned enough money. The only income I have is the rent that I get for the house and of course that is just enough to cover the expenses and have a wee bit left over to buy me dumplings in China. Pity I can’t get me brew money while I’m here………………………..

I also applied for my Myanmar visa this evening and so that means that the time will soon be here for me to jump on a jet plane once more and head of with the selfie stick in hand.

Of course before I leave China I will be going to the mythical Shangri-la.

The visa for Myanmar is $50 US dollars which I think is quite expensive. Maybe they don’t want to have too many tourists at this stage, but I have been wanting to go here for quite a long time and I have plans as far as Mandalay and then it’s going to be where the wind takes me for a while. I’m hoping to travel across to the border to Thailand at Mae Sai and then I’ll come down to Chiang Mai and stay there for a wee while if I can. My friend Anne lives in Chiang Mai and it will be good to catch up with her again. I have many places I wish to go but it will all depend if the wind is blowing in the right direction and of course if the visa card keeps working along the way.
