Ieri Sara \u00e8 partita, cosi oggi continuo il mio viaggio in Myanmar solo… per modo di dire visto che qui la gente \u00e8 talmente cordiale ed amichevole che basta veramente un sorriso ed un minimo di empatia per farsi nuovi amici.<\/p>\n

Sara left yesterday so I continued travelling in Myanmar on my own…Well not really on my own, considering that people here are so nice and friendly that a smile and a bit of empathy are enough to make new friends.<\/em><\/p>\n

Come prima cosa una volta alzato ho deciso di fare colazione in una zona non molto battuta della citt\u00e0 dove, seguendo dei bambini, mi sono imbattuto in un tizio che cucina dei deliziosi manicaretti birmani.<\/p>\n

After getting up, I decided to have breakfast in a scarcely visited area of the city, where, by following some kids, I ran into a guy who cooks delicious Myanmar food.<\/em><\/p>\n

Subito dopo, avevo sentito di un famoso posto chiamato ”Dreamland” cos\u00ec mi sono messo a cercare questa fantastica isola di pace nel mezzo della trafficata Mandalasi. E dopo circa un ora di cammino mi sono trovato di fronte ad un edificio completamente diverso da tutti gli altri con una grossa statua all’ingresso..
\nImmediately after, since I had heard about a famous place called “Dreamland”, I started looking for this wonderful haven of peace in the middle of busy Mandalay. And after having walked for about one hour, I found myself in front of a building which was completely different from all the others and had a huge statue at the entrance.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dreamlan non \u00e8 una semplice guest house ma anche una scuola di musica, arte, scultura, pittura. Insomma una vera e propia oasi culturale super stimolante ed interessante.
\n\u00c8 gestita da una famiglia di padre madre e 9 figlie\/i cugini inclusi. Chiunque dal pi\u00f9 grande al pi\u00f9 piccolo parla inglese perfettamente ed ha una cordialit\u00e0, gentilezza e disponibilit\u00e0 incredibile.<\/p>\n

Dreamland is not just a guest house, but it is also a school of arts, music, sculpture, painting. In other words, a real cultural oasis, very stimulating and interesting.<\/em>
\nIt is managed by a family made up of father, mother and 9 sons\/daughters\/cousins. All of them, from the youngest to the oldest, speak English perfectly and are incredibly kind and helpful.<\/em><\/p>\n

Queste qui sopra sono alcune delle stanza della\u00a0 musica dove ogni giorno diversi ragazzi vengono a prendere lezione<\/p>\n

Here above you can see some of the “music rooms”, where every day several people come to take lessons.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

E questo \u00e8 il maestro di scultura.. le sue opere decorano la casa da dentro a fuori.. inclusa la statua grandissima che si vede nella facciata della casa.
\nAnd this is the sculpture teacher…His works decorate all the house, both inside and outside…included the huge statue you can see in front of the house.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

La scuola \u00e8 aperta a tutti e moltissimi ragazzi si cimentano in diverse forme di arte<\/p>\n

The school is open to everyone and many kids engage in various forms of art.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tutta la casa \u00e8 stata decorata dalle figlie e con i quadri della madre e nel passare da una stanza all’altra non si finisce di scoprire stupendi quadri o semplici decorazioni d’arredo… molto colorate che mettono a propio agio<\/p>\n

All the house has been decorated by the daughters with the paintings made by the mother, and while passing from one room to the next one you keep discovering wonderful paintings or decorations…very colorful and making you feel comfortable <\/em><\/p>\n

Ok ok ora vi spiego… in Dreamland oltre ad esserci artisti pittori e musicisti ci sono anche veri e propi esperti di ogpuntura e medicina tradizionale cinese.
\nCos\u00ec visto che ho un problemino alla mia caviglia ho deciso di provare a curarmi con l’agopuntura… Sophia la figlia pi\u00f9 grande ha preso a cuore il mio caso e ha cercato con diverse sedute di risolvere il problema…
\nPotrei andare avanti per ore nel descrivere tutte le cose interessanti di Dreamland ma per ora mi limito ad un grande grazie..<\/p>\n

Ok ok, I will explain you…In Dreamland, on top of artists, painters and musicians, there are real experts in Chinese medecine and acupuncture.<\/em>
\nSo, since I have a little problem with my ankle, I decided to try to treat it with acupuncture…Sophia, the oldest daughter, took care of my case and tried to solve the problem with some sessions…<\/em>
\nI could keep talking for hours to describe all the interesting things I found in Dreamland, but for the time being I will just say a big thank you…<\/em><\/p>\n
