Yangon Hotel, Friends and Sights
Faye and our tour guide in the entrance to the Kandawgyi palace Hotel
The lobby and lounge area - great for coffee and afternoon drinks
Kandawgyi Lake from our room
Hotel cafe has a dinosaur for a pet
We met and became friends with many interesting people at the hotel - this is Micki and Don whom we teamed up with for adventures in Yangon
Before heading out we had to dress in the appropriate local attire!! Thanks for the loan of my skirt, Don...
The floating palace and royal barge
Exploring some of the streets near the port
One of many stops for hot tea - the fuel of Myanmar
Port district neighborhood hasn't changed much in the last century
A story to be told...
China town corner
Getting a little crowded on the sidewalk
Yangon has many large and beautiful Pagodas. This is the Kaba Aye Pagoda.
This is the Sule Pagoda that dominates the center of the downtown area
But none of the other pagodas can compare with the Shwedagon Pagoda that is visible through the haze from anywhere in Yangon - it is worth a separate web branch
I keep losing my sarong - can't get the knot right. Luckly, there are lots of willing guys to help rescue me. It's kind of embarrasing - do real men wear underwear under this???
