We continued darting around the lake, stopped by a cheroot factory, cheroot being enormous homegrown cigars, and bought some as souvenirs. We also bought some bronze cowbells that I really liked, but unfortunately we lost most of them on our move to Sydney. But it's fitting that on this stange and fascinating trip to Burma, we end the blog on the third and final oddity of Inle Lake. We visited an ugly, new Chinese looking temple boringly located on land, so far so bad. But the monks there have for absolutely no reason decided to train cats to jump through hoops. This has absolutely no religious significance whatsoever, and the monks appear to have done this purely out of boredom. But visiting a monastery in a remote part of Burma to watch cats jumping through hoops is a highly recommended way to end a trip.
