Shwedagon


The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is breathtaking.
I went several times, there was always more to see
& something different happening.
As well as a place for devotion, people use it as a
place to meet, rest, meditate: it gives a wonderfully
complete sense of how alive Buddhism is there.
If you plan a trip to Burma, find a hotel nearby, the
downtown area is another story.
