Inle Lake is a sight to behold.  It is very shallow and in its middle has about 30 square miles of floating gardens which are prevented from moving about by sticking millions of huge bamboo canes through them and into the lake bed. And people live out here in houses on stilts but you need a boat to visit your next door neighbour.
The lake is also home to the famous fishermen who stand on one leg, paddle their boat with another and then cast a circular net.  Quite a skill.
We also visited a teak bridge nearby.  It is the longest wooden bridge in the world and still in pretty good order.
I have included a few photographs of some funny signs I saw.
