Final day in Yangon - actually not sad to leave...
The day started off with some heavy tropical rain.
Later we went for a stroll.
The Shwedagon
Pagoda, officially named Shwedagon Zedi Daw is a gilded pagoda
and stupa 99 metres (325 ft) in height. The pagoda lies to the west of Kandawgyi
Lake, on Singuttara Hill, thus dominating the skyline of the city. It is the
most sacred Buddhist pagoda for the Burmese with relics of four past Buddhas
enshrined within: the staff of Kakusandha, the water filter of Koṇāgamana, a
piece of the robe of Kassapa and eight strands of hair from Gautama
Later we tried to find a post office to buy some stamps.
When we finally reached one it had already closed (at 2pm :( ).
It rained again - so we evacuated into a Doughnut store. :P
Walked through this without shoes to make it to a taxi. :s
