We flew into Yangon from Bangkok. The best thing here is the huge gold Pagoda and Stupors with around 1200 buddha's everywhere! It's supposed to be the best in the country.
Yangon is all on a grid system so you can get around easily. The street food is the best food we had on the trip and cheap. There is a lot of Indian food here as there are influences from all neighbouring countries: Thailand, Indian, China etc so you get a bit of everything.
People don't speak that much English but really appreciate you trying to say a few things. Mingalarba - hello, jeez-zu-bey - an informal thanks, the longer word for 'thanks' has too many syllables to remember! Nic-cow-la is 'how are you' and you need the reply 'gundy' which means good, which you can also say if you like the food.
