Welcome To Yangon..... we pump up the tyres in the airport and ride into the city
The majestic former Ministers Office
Sule Pagoda
Kat was still feeling sick our first few days in Yangon so we stayed in a USD28 room!!
The lift going up to Shwedagon Pagoda
7000 Kyat each to enter...... governmental rip off!
Repair works were in process due to Cyclone Nagris
Shwedagon Pagoda the spiritual heart of Burma
Kat giving me one of her history lessons
Kat was feeling sick. After 3 visits to the doctor we realised she had bacterial arthiritis....
Her feet and joints started swelling up so going up and down the stairs in Manuels place was a pain
We decided to try and meet someone from the couchsurfing community and met Manuel.... he offered us his flat and we develped a great friendship
He made us and some of his ex collegues pasta.... took him 3 hours and we downed it with Shan wine
View of the nitelife from Manuels flat
And still cooking....
Everyones glad when he finally finishes and we gorge ourselves....
His ex collegues had all gone down to the delta over the weekend to distribute aid and had only returned early that morning... so they were all looking forward to bed
Joseph Singh
Chinatown Beer stations and our pissed friends
They had to throw us out of the place
