Woke up very early around 6:30 in the morning. Had two hours' walk around before returning to the hotel for its free breakfast, and away for its heat. The route was:
City Hall- Sule Paya/Pagoda,
Church Immanuel Baptist Church,
Mahabandoola Garden Rd,
American Embassy on Merchant St,
Pier of Yangon River on Strand,
Strand rd(Myanmar Airways,Strand Hotel,Australia Embassy, UK Embassy, Main Post Office, Red Cross),
Morning market,
Walk back and across to Shwebontha St,
Indian community and Mosque,
Mahabandoola Rd, back to hotel.
Breakfast I enjoyed at the hotel was quite British and included fried egg, toast, coffee, fruits. The young owner happened to be there and shared with me his lots of albums when he was still a seaman. He was a very gentle man and our conversation started with smiles and his guessing my nationality. According to him, I look very Thai or Japanese.Although personally I think Thai people and Japanese are not alike in terms of facial features and behaviours at all, I was happy I bridged all the difference.
