Month: November 2016

The street food of Yangon is very diver­se, today we try ever­y­thing that is not nai­led.  By the way, chick­peas are the main ingre­di­ent in almost every dish. They are ser­ved on fried dough, with quail egg and no egg with other stran­ge ingre­di­ents or fal­a­fel with

Today we want to do a who­le lap around Yangon with the Cir­cu­lar Train. For 200 Kyi­at, about one Euro we get a ticket with which you can, if you like, get off and on again at every stop. The train lea­ves about every 40–60 minu­tes and a com­ple­te city tour takes 3 hours.

After spen­ding more than the half a day at the Roy­al Asia Hos­pi­tal, we are incre­di­bly hun­gry. That’s why we choo­se Wai Wais Nood­le Place. If I had known that Wai Wais Nood­le Place was on the roof of a 12-sto­ry buil­ding wit­hout an ele­va­tor, I would have thought about this

When we final­ly land in Yangon about 6 hours later, we have ano­ther 45 minu­tes ride to the hotel in front of us. We’­re so finis­hed we don’t even make it to a restau­rant, but only to the 9th flo­or to the hotel restau­rant. Bes­i­des, Mir­ko can’t walk with his club­foot anyway.

After a half hour break in the hotel, a small washing action and a less wort­hwhile break­fast in the form of toast and bana­nas at a very dir­ty table under which at least 12 dead flies lie, we set out again.

Today we want to see some of the 150 anci­ent temp­le ruins in Mrauk

The next mor­ning starts ear­ly, very, very ear­ly to be exact, becau­se at 5:30 o’clock Myint wants us to see the sun­ri­se. This time we dri­ve with a real car a short ride by the city. When we arri­ve at the foot of a hill the first ques­ti­on is: Do you have flash­lights with

The next mor­ning we start calm­ly, becau­se today we con­ti­nue to Mrauk U or as it´s also said: Miauuuu. At the air­port in Thand­we the usu­al cha­os reig­ns only with the dif­fe­rence that this time the­re is no litt­le man hol­ding up a sign on which the flight num­ber is written.
