Flussprojekt im April

Im April führt mich meine Flussreise wieder nach Asien, und zwar nach Myanmar. Von Ma Thanegi habe ich schon ein Reisebuch gelesen, in dem sie mit einem Bus durch Myanmar gereist ist. Ein paar Seiten habe ich bereits in der U-Bahn angelesen und es gefällt mir wieder richtig gut.

 

Meine Lektüre:

Ma THANEGI
Defiled on the Ayeyarwaddy

Description: As she approaches her sixties, Ma Thanegi decides to satisfy a lifelong dream. Jumping on any boat that would let her onboard, she begins a leisurely exploration of Myanmar’s thirteen hundred-mile long Ayeyarwaddy River. Always hungry—for food, conversation, and a good story—Ma Thanegi clearly savors and vividly describes every adventure she encounters, whether she is traveling into the Cyclone Nargis-stricken delta region, feeding a dragon, or careening down the rock-infested white-water gorge of the Ayeyarwaddy’s First Defile. You’ll love accompanying this opinionated and delightful lady on an odyssey that takes her through much of Myanmar—never without great passion for her country, a wicked sense of humor, and her tube of red lipstick.
