Myanmar impressions

I really want to do the impressions posts but after seeing this one collect dust for half a year, let's try a different approach. No one has time to read long posts anyway today.

• Schwedagon is simply breathtaking
  
  
• beautiful women – on average
• monks everywhere – they must be a significant portion of the society
• friendly people – even when trying to sell you stuff
• weird negotiations
• no taximeter – ever
• which country do you come from? – how to start a conversation with a tourist, mostly used by kids

• plastic garbage – getting plastic bags is easy but they don't know they can never get rid of it so it just lies around or they try to burn it
• night buses – maybe locals can sleep better listening to loud soap operas but we couldn't :(
• great local curry – so close to India and yet it's different
• long-neck women – they are mostly a tourist attraction and that may be one of reasons they still do it. I felt bad going to see them

Great trip altogether!
