| Burma - road to Kakku |
On the bumpy road which leads from Taunggyi
to Kakku, we stopped many times. To visit PaO
villages first of all, and also at two Buddhist sites: the Hamsi pagoda complex
(also sometimes spelled Hamse), and the Bawathan cave. We have very little
information about those two places, in fact. I didn't really take notes on
the spot, and then I was completely unable to find any data neither in books
nor on the web. (except that in Turkish, "Hamsi" is a kind of fish,
which, you will agree, is not a highly valuable piece of information!!!)
