World Nomads Create Scholarships Photography 2018 Applications Where The Wild Things Are Where The Wild Things Are by Ben Richards (Australia) Myanmar Shares Facebook Twitter They said dont go there, the people are dangerous and crossing the border solo is not a smart thing to do. I crossed the border anyway, and I met some of the most amazing, kind and caring people on Earth! They said the country is a dirty, filthy place filled with rubbish and disease. I wandered around for a month and witnessed some of natures absolute miracles, pristine landscapes and untouched habitats. They asked "Why would I bother going to this place, theres nothing special to see." I saw some of the most unforgettable locations I have ever seen, and took part in some truely amazing activities for the most honest of prices. They said dont trust the local people, they will probably try and rob you. I spent my time living in hilltribe villages, helping locals with everyday tasks, and teaching people English. They said the people have no culture and only know violence and corruption. I learned about Buddhism, the history of this amazing country, and saw it through the eyes of the people living here, not the media. This is Myanmar, this is amazing!
