A nice town in the Shan state, Hsipaw conquered us by its calm, its inhabitants' kindness and its countryside beauty where the soil wears the most beautiful red color ever seen. Like anywhere else, motorbikes have brought freedom and young people really enjoy riding between lost hamlets while kids stroll around on buffalo's backs.
Shan minority is one of the most important in Myanmar (Burmese only form 70% of the population). The Shan state shares border with China and Thailand. Shan language is closed to the Thai one. Their noodle soup is famous and as we will discover during our breakfast rather spicy:-)

| Deforestation: wood is used for cooking, building houses, logging... |

| End of the day: everybody showers together. Precious motorbikes included:-) |
