We had to do a visa run so decided to go to Yangon
View from hotel
You can get just about anything here
This is just one of the many street stalls
There are many of these food stalls along the streets
The local Buses are always full
There is about 5 million people living here
The country is very poor
They place their rubbish in piles anywhere they can find
They grow a lot of these water plants
as you can see they are wading waist deep to harvest the crop
We visited the Shwedagon Pagoda
This Pagoda is the Biggest
that we have been to since Leaving Australia
Pray Gong
Entrance to the Shwedagon Pagoda
This vehicle had was started by hand with a Crank handle
Pretty amazing this day and age
We visited the Local Ferry Terminal
they transport people and goods
Everything here is loaded by hand
Behind this bike stacked with Eggs
is a little old man pushing it along
Fuel Drums are placed on trolley's and pulled along by men
A Boat of Gas bottles being unloaded by hand
Believe us they were very heavy
Once off the boat they placed them into the truck
This Market is located in 24th street
It is the local market place
The fruit and Veg was so fresh
As was the poultry
You just had to pick which one you wanted
Then they necked it plucked it and cut it up for you
The Butcher shop
