First Land Run
Greetings--
Just completed my first ground visa run. A miserable experience, carsick from the winding roads. Have attached a picture... please note the pouring rain.
However, chatted up one long-term expat who has made the run many many times. His claim (not mine so please do not flame me) is that aerial runs are both expensive and unpredictable. "If anything goes wrong you are stuck." Literally, one supposes. Even when things work it still takes most of the day. He now does the ground runs unless he can justify a flight for some other reason.
I have also attached a picture of two Filipinas who brightened up the Burma end of things. Sadly, they were on a different visa tour-- in fact, they had to come to our boat to use the facilities.
