First day in Yangon - pictures

First thing first: indulging in delicious street-food.



After a nap, the biggest attraction in town - Shwedagon pagoda. With it's 3,000 Kgs of gold, it is huge, beautiful, shiny, impressive; and at the same time quiet, clean, contemplative, inspiring.




Real hazards: 1) sidewalk holes. Keep your eyes on the ground! and 2) crossing roads. It's exciting to see a pedestrian crossing on the main road, but a green light doesn't necessarily mean cars aren't coming.

In between: hot, humid; friendly locals smiling and waving, approaching us to ask where we're from and practice their English; jetlag.
