Hello from the priority pass lounge in Yangon and we're on our way to Mandalay now. So,
I had a quick 12-hour turnaround and I can't believe they have such a big beautiful lounge
here. I love the priority pass perk that comes with my credit card. So next time we see you
guys we'll be in Mandalay.
Ten bucks for a taxi. It's about an hour to town. It's not bad. Not bad at all.
You drive and it's like there's a stupa, there's a stupa, there's a stupa, there's so many stupas. It's
so beautiful.
Made it to Mandalay. Look at that. So pretty. And the sun is setting. I'm so tired. I'm
so jet-lagged. I don't think we're going to do anything exciting today, but tomorrow,
sunrise to sunset, it's going to be a pagoda party.
Good morning from the, oh no, I'm not going to say the name right. The U Bein Bridge in
outside of Mandalay. So, we woke up at 5:00 to get here for the sunrise.
Pretty impressive start. Pretty impressive start at Mandalay. I seem to have inherited
some doggies. That's fine. That's fine. Oh, this is stunning.
All right now, have some breakfast, little outfit change and time to explore the city.
This is our driver, Mr. Take It Easy. He has the cleanest car in Man dalay. Where are we
going next?
Amarapura to Inwa, Inwa to Sagaing, Sagaing to Mingun.
This is a monastery and I'm going to have to write down here where exactly it
is because I'm not good at the names, but this one's a different flavor. It's all wood.
Oops. I'll figure out this thing.
In some ways, it reminds me of Angor Wat a little
bit. Yeah, the detail is really amazing of this stuff. But like this part here where
the jungle is kind of taking over, but you pretty much have to take a horse-drawn carriage
to get here and I felt really guilty about it and I didn't know that.
So, just keep that in mind.
This is really so cool. It feels like running around Angor Wat without anywhere near as
many people. Gosh, so beautiful. This is really beautiful and impressive.
check it. Woah.
Dang. To get your name on the wall back in 2012 that's how much you needed to donate,
which is like 30 bucks. Hey babe, how much is 50,000 kyat worth? Like
30 bucks? Thirty bucks. I wonder what the going rate is now. Californians on here.
Chung Trinh family. Shout out to you guys.
All right. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It's so beautiful everywhere you go. Absolutely
amazing in a way that I've never seen anywhere else. Cambodia, Thailand, everywhere else
in the world I've been. Can't we all just get along guys? The unfortunate thing is you
have to walk barefoot and there's a lot of stuff like this around, so there's something
in one of my feet for sure.
Feel like each place we go looks more and more like cake,
or maybe that's just my mood.
