Myanmar Diaries

Image
I travelled to Yangon in Myanmar, a couple of weeks back. This was my second trip to the country. Being a work trip for just 3 days- both times, I couldn't do much. But I made sure to experience as much Burmese culture as possible within those 3 days! :-)  Glimpses of Yangon The thought of traveling to a new country is exciting. There's so much to experience and keep in mind. Sharing some experiences from Yangon here: 1.    First & the most important point- make sure to carry crisp dollar notes only. Any folded, coloured, faded notes will not be accepted. The visa officials are very strict and you might be denied a visa on arrival with no proper notes. 2.    You'll find beautiful gleaming pagodas on every street. Adorned with flowers and incense sticks, you'll find people praying here in the mornings and evenings. 3.    The Shwedagon Pagoda officially named Shwedagon Zedi Daw, is a must visit, if you're in Yangon.
