March 16 - Yangon. Took to the streets early excited to explore more and this time take some pictures. Found a great little market near our guest house. Spent the morning exploring the city streets and taking a few photos. Then had lunch with a Burmese lady who we meet on the street while looking up directions in the Lonely Planet guide book. She helped us with some questions about the culture and language. Later, headed to the China town area and continued to explore until sun set.

So far the people and atmosphere have been great. I'm really enjoying walking the city streets. The poverty is obvious and much like I saw in Cuba. Much more interesting life here then the other parts of Asia I've visited so far.

Grandma's Thai Cooking sent me a link to pictures from the cooking class in Chang Mai. Here is the link:
