Normally to get around, we take a taxi here in Yangon. The taxis are somewhat inexpensive (under $4 to go anywhere in the city) and we can usually convey to the driver where we need to go. Yesterday, however, we had the luxury of walking a few miles from downtown past the main Buddhist pagoda (The Shwedagon Pagoda) and met up with some friends in another part of the city for dinner. Here are a couple of snapshots I got along our walk, and the view of the pagoda from the restaurant.
This was a busy market outside of the pagoda.
This adorable little girl was so happy and just would not stop smiling and laughing! I asked the woman holding her if I could take her photo, and obviously the baby didn't object either. :)
A sad, but beautiful place.
