herzog63 Says: If you have time to wander through the Nyaung U neighborhoods do it!! The people are so friendly and they will take the time to talk with you! Alot of people speak English well enough to carry on a general conversation and it makes for such a nice experience. (In my opinion)...
Large Golden Pot: Across from the Big Pagoda
herzog63 Says: The guest house is right across the street from the Large Chedi that is right at the intersection of the Bagan-Nyaung U and Anawrahta Rd as you arrive into town.
herzog63 Says: The Large Golden Pot put me off at first. My bus stopped at it as we entered Nyaung U and the owner came onto the bus to ask if anyone wanted to stay there. There was about 6 of us foreigners on the bus and none of us looked interested. The guy explained that his rates where...
herzog63 Says: Quench was one of my son's favorite thirst quenchers in Myanmar. It is a local brand similar to Sprite but was very cheap!
herzog63 Says: When you eat in a tea shop or get a cup of tea the "waiter" will provide you table with various snacks. Those will only be paid for if you eat them. So if you don't want to pay just leave them on the plate. You will be given a glass of Sweet Tea that costs very little and...
herzog63 Says: There are plenty of horse carts for hire in Nyaung U. I didn't ride one here but they would make for a pleasant ride to the Jetty or possibly all the way to Old Pagan. It is probably better to make sure of the price before you get in. So you don't have any problems when it...
herzog63 Says: I didn't have the pleasure of riding on this bus but there are plenty of shorter journeys done on these kinds of buses. For sure you will be sitting next the locals and their livestock! Chickens and goats are very common! I've riden on plenty of Asian buses with chickens and...
herzog63 Says: In most restaurants and every tea shop and bus stop you can find weak chinese tea in these types of bottles. It is very,very cheap!
Making Canye (Sugar Cane Juice)
herzog63 Says: Sugar cane juice is a popular thirst quencher throughout the country. We drank it a few times without ill effects but one word of caution...It is quite often presoaked in water!! So there is a good chance of getting sick from it. It is very delicious and cheap. It is found...
My son doing school work.......I must be mean!!
herzog63 Says: Here is a picture of my son working on school work. We didn't do this to much on the trip but there were a couple of times where we took an hour to stop and have a snack and rest and work on some of his school work that we brought along on the trip. Usually when he took his...
herzog63 Says: Well I was in need of a haircut so I asked my Guesthouse owner if there was a barber nearby and he told me where it was and that he payed 400 Kyat for a haircut but he wasn't sure what I would pay as a foreigner but he guessed it would be 500 Kyat (US$.55cents). Sounded good...
herzog63 Says: This is just a shot from one of the Tea stalls. It was nice just watching life pass by. One of my favorite pastimes if I'm not wandering is sitting at a teashop watching the world go by.
herzog63 Says: The main street of Nyaung U isn't a big wide road it's a paved road with a sandy shoulder. Also watch for holes in the "sidewalks" as there are open pits along the road that you could easily step into if you weren't paying attention....actually you could step in them even if...
herzog63 Says: There might be times when ya just want to get out of the scorching sun? You can find some makeshift shades that also might be some sort of bus stop or truck stop. I'm not sure. But I always saw people hanging out under the shades.
herzog63 Says: There are small Tea Shops like this everywhere so you won't have to worry about dying of starvation!
