Part 17. Yangon ** May 2012 **

I stayed in Hotel Halpin because the location was convenient near a few shopping centers, embassies and restaurants. Across the road was the Indonesian embassy and also the Thai Embassy was very near !

I made a few videos around that area including a view at some restaurants in the basement of a shopping mall (Taw Win Centre).

Part 16. Bus Bagan to Yangon ** May 2012 **

A bus trip from Bagan to Yangon would take a day, departure was from the hotel at 7h30 AM and the cost was 15000 kyat (app 20 US$).
This was an aircon bus and besides a few short stops it went quite fast and around 5pm we arrived at a bus station in Northern Yangon.

See a video below with an impression of this trip.

A big part of the trip was on a quite new concrete highway (German style) with almost no traffic.

After arrival in Yangon I took a public bus and after much delay (traffic jams) I arrived at Hotel Halpin.

See some pics below.

From my hotel it was 5 min on the bike to Swezigon Pagoda so I went there around 6 pm to watch the sunset.

See a video of the pagoda below.
