Back to the start - Yangon, Myanmar

When I arrived at my guesthouse in Yangon early Wednesday (28 March) morning fortunately there was a dorm bed empty and I crashed for a several hours. Then I spent the day walking around Yangon, relaxing, checking email, and reading.

Thursday (29 March), my last day in Myanmar, I didn't have any plans so it was again another lazy day. It was too hot in the afternoons to enjoy being outside in Yangon, so I tired to stay under the shade. I felt like I had seen enough of Yangon when I was there at the begining so I didn't have any problems lazing around.

Friday (30 March) morning several other travelers from the guesthouse were all on my flight to Bangkok so we shared some taxis to the airport. A few hours later I was back in my most familiar city in Asia.....

Myanmar really is a special place and I look forward to going back some day. It is the least touristed country in southeast Asia and it shows in the friendliness and curiousity of the Burmese people. The Burmese have to be the nicest, friendliness, most curious, and most helpful people of any country I have visited. I recieved so many waves and smiles every where I visited and people would always come up to me and want to talk and practice their english. Too many of the countries in southeast asia have lost that.
