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
