Tonight I went to Shwedagon Pagoda – a quite peaceful area contrary to Downtown Yangon. It’s an important landmark of Myanmar, but moreover it is a shiny gold pilgrimage for Buddhists from all over the world. Many visitors are meditating, monks are wandering quietly, familys are having a picnic and tourists like me are taking pictures. Foreigners pay an entrance fee of 8.000 Kyat and of course everybody has to slip out of his flip flops.
