Unfortunately the government here in the Union of Myanmar has deemed access to Hotmail dangerous to their grip on power. Therefore I will not be able to view, or reply to any messages sent to my Hotmail account. Sorry folks.
For family, friends and assorted others, here is a rough itinerary which covers me until I return to Bangkok.
23rd Feb - Yangon - Mandalay, Bus
26th Feb - Mandalay - Bagan, Boat
28th Feb - Mount Popa, Day trip, local Bus
2nd Mar - Bagan - Kalaw, Bus
3,4(,5) Mar - Trek, Kalaw to Inle Lake
8th Mar - Inle Lake (Taunggyi) to Yangon
11th Mar - Yangon to Bangkok, flight, Bangkok "no crashes this week" Airways
Naturally this will probably change to some extent. It is however unlikely the destinations or order in which I will visit them will be altered.

Hey Dave,
Just updated myself of your adventures and sounds uttlerly amazing. Really wish I had the guts (and the cash) to do what you're doing!
Am enjoying watching the sun gleaming off the roof of the Opera House through occasional flurries of snow...although my life is more than a little hectic at the moment.
Work is horrendous as I have far more responsibility for important stuff like money than I'd like it really acts as a distraction from the other part of my life!...
So Dada Menswear....I've sold a few things through a shop in Camden...so there are random people wandering round with some Nina Penlington Originals...I have been approached by a couple of bands to style them...and my stuff is appearing in a charity fashion show tomorrow night at the Kentish Town Forum, raising money for the St Bart's Asian foundation with an expected 1000 strong audience...I hope my stuff doesn't look shit or it'll be a major embarrassment.
I'm also applying for deferred entry onto a hand tailoring course to start Sept 07...so I really need to start saving some money...but am getting more than itchy feet from my day job...I just cannot sit at a desk any longer...so I'm thinking of getting a part time job somewhere so I can spend more time on making clothes and try and get more and more into outlets across London...I really need to start making money from this..
fingers crossed that I don't go bankrupt before the dream happens...
Anyway...sorry for boring you. Continue having a fantastic time and I can't wait to see your first TV series...maybe I can design the costumes!
