excellent trip . our tour guide Kinn and the driver Peay were very friendly and helpful . all the places that we visited were truly an experience , the monastery , the golden palace the reclining Buddha and even the war memorial . could have avoided the wet market though. recommend you buy all your souvenirs in Bago, they are of a better quality and more reasonable than Yangon . Chits and Nimal Sri Lanka .
