Cuando te cansas de callejear puedes irte a pasear por alguno de los parques, en alguno te cobran, pero son de lo más tranquilos que te puedes imaginarWhen you get tyred of strolling you may go to seat in some of the parks , in some of them you must pay , but they are as quite as you may imagine
El Buda de Chaukhtatgy junto con el de Bago son de los m?s grandes que hay en el pais.Los pies de Buda son dignos de verseThe Chaukhtatgy Buddha and the one in bago are the biggest sleeping Buddhas in the country It is really interesting to see the Buddha feet
Nos llevamos una gran desilusión cuando entramos en este templo ya que pensabamos que Swedagon era parecido y la verdad es que no nos pareció ninguna maravilla , aunque hay quien dice que es muy atractivoEsta al lado del Shwedagon y se pasa a este através de una pasarelaWe were disappointed when we went in this temple as we thought that should be similar to Shwedagon and really we thought that it was not very nice , Though some body says that is very attractiveIt is besides the Shwedagon and you pass to it through a runway
Al ponerse el sol y cuando empieza a oscurecer se llena el templo de gentes de todas las edades que vienen a rezar y a hacer ofrendas a los distintos budas que hay en el templo.Este templo se ve desde practicamente todo Yangon ya que esta sobre una colina en la que se puede acceder en un ascensorRealmente es un sitio que vale la pena pues además de que es bonito, tiene buenas vibraciones At sunset and when it starts the darkness the temple becomes full of people of all ages that come to pray and to make offerings to the different Buddha statues that are on the templeYou may see this temple practically from all Yangon as it is on a hill that you may reach with elevatorBesides that is very beautiful , it has good vibrations
Esta situada en el centro de Yangon completamente integrada con la vida de la cudad. En su estupa central se dice que hay un pelo de BudaLa cúpula de la estupa no es convencional ,ya que pasa de la base octogonal a una forma de campana , terminando en una forma de cuenco invertidoIt is located in Yangon center fully integrated with the town lifeIn the central stupa they say that there is a hair of BuddhaThe top of the stupa is not conventional , as it passes from an octagon base to a bell shape , finishing as an inverted bowl
Under the awnings on many of the streets you will find everything for sale from fruit to cheap sunglasses! I certainly bought a bunch of fruit from places like this. Oranges make a great snack and give you the vitamin C you need!! You need but a few hundred Kyat for a big ol bag of Oranges!
You can look in any direction once you're in the grounds of the Shwedagon Paya and you'll see golden stupas everywhere! It is such an awesome place. It is a very special place for believers and regular tourists alike!! You better bring extra film or have plenty of space on you digital card!!
You can see water jars at many different pavilions at Shwedagon Paya. They are used as a sort of prayer wheel based on what I observed. Water is drank from each jar in a clockwise way and a prayer is said.
The Min's Bell was cast in 1841 and weighs a whopping 42 tons!! You don't want to drop it on your toe! LOL The building that it's in is also very beautiful. The ceiling is made of laquer and inlaid with glass. This pavilion is found to the right of the Eastern stairway landing. There is a wooden mallet sitting there too for you gonging pleasure!! Hit it three times for goodluck!! The Maha Titthadaganda means it's a three toned bell. It takes a good rap with the wooden mallet to get the bell to make a good sound though!
Como me faltaba aluna foto repito el templo As some pictures were missing I repeat the temple
