We have breakfast at the hostel listening to the songs of the children at school, it is a military march according to the owner.

We take a taxi and go to Ngahtatgyi Paya, free of charge. A huge Buddha welcomes us, sitting down, framed in carved wood. It's very impressive.

A man approaches and shows us the rooms. They have so many things and it is so dark that you can't see anything. We arrive at the room of the main monk who gives us his blessing for the modest price of 10,000 MMK all three. Although he wanted more but we refused.


They try to trick us into taking a measuring class from another monk and when we see the percale we leave. Our friend asks for another 5,000, we thank him and leave.

Back to the hostel, the owner has found us a taxi to get to the airport. We share it with a Mexican guy who has been doing a retreat in a monastery in Bago and who is going to Calcutta. We exchanged experiences.
