Men-ga-laba (Hello) Myanmar !

Day 7
23:00 Yangon - Chinatown

Wow ! Landed safely in Yangon after almost 3 hour flight with couple of thunderstorms around us directly to the beginning of Tazaungdaing festival.

One main street in downtown is completely closed for traffic and full of food stalls (mostly fried local specialities like bats, seafood we've never seen before and inner parts of all kind of animals), music production and locals of all age and different appearance.

It's been a long time ( last time in India ) since people were spontaneously touching our hair while walking behind us and giggling with joy.

We've learned couple of basic words ( good, bad, hello, thank you, 100, 500, 1000 ) and tried to practice as much as we could and YES the book was right, local people love when you try to speak their language.

We'll keep learning every day a bit and keep you updated as soon as we posses enough knowledge about burmese !

As it's tone language we've decided to write up simple WYHIWYW dictionary and share it later with you dear reader !

PS : Beer is cheap here !
