We woke up at 6:00am, in order to have time to eat breakfast on our hotel’s roof top, before catching a taxi to the highway bus station Aung Mingalar. There are quite a few highway bus stations on the outskirts of Yangon, so make sure you are heading to the right one for your bus. Our hotel called a cab for us, and negotiated a rate of 13,000 kyat for the ride.

On our last full day in Yangon we decided to do the Lonely Planet walking tour of Colonial Yangon. I actually edited the Lonely Planet tour, and have created a map and tour of downtown Yangon of my own.

After spending the day at Shwedagan Pagoda, we walked back to our hotel near the water to rest for awhile. Later on in the evening we decided to venture out to a vegetarian restaurant that was near by. The restaurant is called Vegetarian Centre. The owner man was so friendly! He gave us a nutty rice dish for free and some orange slices! I ordered a vegetarian pork skin dish that was spicey. Jives ordered a vegetarian fried fish dish. […]

I woke up at 8am, and forced Jives awake at 9:30am so that we could get our free breakfast on the rooftop. Breakfast was pretty good. It was buffet style, with fried rice, noodles, veggies and toast. This breakfast was a great indication of how the next two weeks would be travelling as a vegan/ vegetarian in Myanmar! We went back to the room for Jives to sleep a little, before heading out to explore Yangon for the first time! […]

After the long delay, as we waited on the airplane for officials to take extra Covid precautions, we disembarked the plane, and headed through customs. We had no issue getting our visa on arrival (you apply online ahead of time). After officially entering the country, you go through the arrival doors. If you turn left and walk a few meters you will see the official currency exchange place. I always avoid exchanging currency in the airport, but in Myanmar it […]
