this is how they serve their food!
one of the dishes with cute serving. xD
THANAKHA is a very popular cosmetic in Myanmar among both younger and older generations of women. Most females and children, use it not only as a facial make-up but also as a medicine. It’s very effective for pimples and freckles and getting rid of it protects the skin from the sun’s sweltering heat. Due to these virtues, thanakha has been an essential item for Myanmar women for hundreds of years perhaps. Girls value it so much that they will not pose for a photo unless they have applied thanakha on their face. more info click here
Day 7.
fly back from Bagan to Yangon. Had dim sum for lunch! i was still sick since day 6. sigh~
hotel that im staying for the last day in Yangon.
canopy bed! xD
i was so glad that i found wifi and got to online in that hotel! guess what?! Myanmar doesnt allow us foreigners to make calls with our own number! ;( we have to buy their local number and it cost us USD25. So its not worth it for me to get one there..
saw that golden thing on the lake? its a very grand restaurant! too bad we dont get to go in this trip. my mum dad and sis get to dine there last March! not fair~
hmph.
went stone jewellery shopping too! :)
Day 8.
home! but still not feeling well.. i've been puking each time i had my meal and it totally sucks. On the bright side, its indeed a very successful trip and i truly enjoyed it with my family. looking forward to my second Myanmar trip! =X
with love,
