Myanmar day 20: Yangon.

We had breakfast at the Hotel Popular, which was very good, as they take care of us.

A small truck picks us up and takes us to the bus stop, which is also run by the hotel.

Waiting for the bus

The bus leaves at 9 but it makes so many stops and there is so much traffic that the trip takes forever, almost 5 hours.

At the station we take a taxi to get to the Sule Inn to leave our backpacks. When we arrive the woman is very happy and her mother also remembers us.

We eat from the street stalls, we chop several, they have a dough with quail's eggs ... that rich. There are many chickpeas, others like scones and especially chickpea tofu. Especially in Yangon, street food is worth trying.

Little nuns in Bogyoke Aung San Market

Let's walk to the Bogyoke Aung San Market, we'll barely make it in ten minutes. It is huge, it has everything, especially souvenirs, but also fabrics and art galleries and jewelry. It's packed, people are on the streets having tea. We bought a few things and had to haggle hard.

We went out to a second hand market that caught our attention when we arrived the first day, it is next to the river at the post office. You have to be careful with your belongings, almost all of them are second or third hand mobiles. It is interesting, the prices are very cheap.

We went to Pomelo Shop, a shop that sells souvenirs made by groups of women of different ethnic groups. There is no bargaining here, but it has beautiful things. We met three Spanish women who leave first thing tomorrow morning for Spain, we shared experiences.

Sule Paya from Sakura Tower

We had dinner at the Pansuriya restaurant. It's a kind of art gallery restaurant, with a decadent air like the city. The food was delicious, we loved the mohinga (fish soup).
