YANGON

---

An old colonial city. You feel safe even at dark. Everybody tries to help you. The most impressive action is the visit to Shwedagon Pagoda. It is a praying complex. It gives a feeling like Kabe for Muslims, Varanasi for Hindus, Vatican for Christians . As if there exist a vast religious energy at the atmosphere.

We visited top restaurants, Monsoon, 50th Street , Bilar Briyani and had our last dinner at 19th Street , Chinese area, with BBQ and drinks.

In Myanmar because of the toursim exploited, especially hotel prices are increased more than twice than the books write.

The other interesting is the traffic is on the right and the steering wheels are also on the right.

We are going to KL by Air Asia at 17.00 today. Tomorrow we will fly to Makasar city at Sulawesi Island of Indonasia. After Makasar we may have difficulty in communication because we will be moving to rural areas of the island.

Great barbecue and cheap beers
I love the mojitos for 800kiats... where else would you get a mojito for less than a dollar? I also found info about 19th street on http://yangon-rangoon.com/19th-street-in-yangon.html There is around 20 bars in 19th street, the best are always crowded.
