Patrik Wallner proves Myanmar is in fact one of the world's most photogenic places as he gives us a tour of the country and its inhabitants. The movement Patrik captures here has a mysterious living quality to it, from the vibrant, richly colored textiles to hot air balloons across the horizon. His advice for visiting this historically isolationist country (it only opened its borders to tourists in 2013) is to hurry over quickly before all the tourists show up.
