First Day in Myanmar

I arrived at the airport and hooked up with fellow travellers immediately. When we were on the way to the hotel, we could instantly see, that Myanmar definately is much less developped than other countries in Southeast Asia and there ar no McDonalds or 7elevens here;)
The same evening we went out to Yangons emblem, the Silver Pagoda, which is actually golden. We went up the staircase and approached the huge shiny pagoda. 

A lot of people were wandering around praying or simply enjoying the evening breeze. We sat down with some monks, who eventually showed us around. We realized, that were the only tourists. The atmosphere was amazing... this silence, but still a lot of life. Ocationally bells ringing and this peaceful environment al shrouded in the golden light of the pagoda... it was magic!
