Shwe Dagon

Today we went to Shwe Dagon Pagoda, which supposedly houses 8 of Buddha’s hairs and is THE tourist attraction of Yangon. We have been going to so many places recently because of friends here as I’ve mentioned before. Afterwards we went and got a massage. For the first time I talked to someone completely in burmese with out any English being thrown in. The conversation did consist of me saying “I don’t know” a lot. Here are some pictures from Shwe Dagon:

Hello, thanks for sharing the pictures. Some pics of all of you would be a treat (either here or by e-). As you enjoy 90F we have single digit and snow falling.
We miss you both.
