We took a 2 hour trip today to, with tuk tuk – my Buddha its hot !! But! – still not a lot of tourist – low season rocks when it comes to sightseeing.
A lot of tem has construction going on – fixing and tuning. Tourism is really picking up here, so they want them to Continue reading “More pagoda-ing at Bagan”
We have 4-5 days in Bagan, staying in NewBagan – that next to OlBagan, witch borders Nayung-U – Its all the same really, but Naying-U is the town where the offices and shops are, the people and yeah, the town. Old Bagan is all the ruins and pagoda’s, old city walls around it with a couple of museums etc.. new Bagan is a collection of tourist hotels. (New Bagan = Tourist town)
We are here in the summer for Bagan (late April), and that is low season, so lots of things are closed. But even though it’s much hotter here now than in high season, it’s nice to be able to travel around without the busloads of tourist which are here in the high season.

The whole deal with removing shoes and socks before entering a temple, has nothing to do with religion – its a tradition thing.
The issue with this, is that we have 42C in the shade, and that means that the brick floors – who are in the sun – holds aprox 10000C and burns of Norwegian feet fast.
We have walked around complaining amongs ourself about this for time time. And today – our guide just broefly mentioned – walk on the white marble tiles.. and by god, yes – they are cooler. We just never thougt about it.. happy days!
Feet and shies nevertheless fucked after a couple days pagodaing – but not that burnt anymore.
We landed in Bagan after a 15 min stop at He Ho.
We booked our flight trough flymya.com, I had a hard time finding tickets on any of the well known internet agencies. Easy peasy – but you need to put in a lot of info and also all passport info. After you are done and you have paid, it goes to a manual registration, and tickets are issued within 24 hours.
nah,
Not tasty at all !
