Back in Nov. '02, my cousin & I embarked on a long, extremely tight-budgeted, back-pack trip in Asia to see China, Burma, & most of all, India.

However, we didn't make it to India because there's just so many fine places to see in both China & Burma & so, we only made it as far as Myanmar starting from Hong Kong then going westward to Burma.

This article then is the 1st in a long series of "China '02" articles. Hope you like the pics & this article. Thanks!:)
