I'm very proud to announce my second book, Across a Golden Land: A Journey Through Burma!
Once again, I open the pages of my
ever-present travel journal to bring to life the story of one of my
greatest adventures; my incredible journey across the mysterious,
golden land of Burma.
I didn’t know much about Burma before
my first visit. I knew it sat at the geographic and cultural
crossroads between Thailand, India, and China. I knew it had been
closed off to foreigners for about fifty years. For some reason I
knew Burma was one of three remaining countries to still use Imperial
measurements, and that it was one of only two countries where (until
recently) Coca-Cola was not sold. Besides these trivial facts, I knew
very little. When I learned it was possible to get a visa easily from
the embassy in Bangkok, I knew I had to see for myself.
In his latest travelogue, Michael Desrosiers describes the fascinating and elusive Burma as one of the first wave of visitors to the country after half a century of virtual isolation.
With the backdrop of the country's first democratic elections looming just on the horizon, two travelers set out to see a country that is set to change rapidly. Enter the land of the unknown, the legendary "Golden Land".
