Last 2019, I challenged to myself to travel two countries in South East Asia. I choosed Thailand and Myanmar. Among these two countries,I found most interestings in Myanmar. I set off my journey in the last week of February. I took my passport,backpack and suitcase which contained my clothes. On the way,I couldn't sleep because I was very excited because it was my first time of travelling to South East Asia. I wanted to thank to weather because there was no turbulence on the way. Our plane landed at Yangon International Airport around evening. I looked for the ATM to change my dollars to kyats(currency in Myanmar). After changing my currency, I came out off the airport and found one taxi driver and he asked me "Where do you want to go,Sir?" and I thought that guy was pretty friendly. I told him that I wanted to go to the Qualified Hotel which situated near the downtown area. He gave me a lift and my steps in Yangon has started. The weather was so hot because it was the summer of Myanmar. So,if you're making a trip to Yangon at the late beginning of the year,leave your jackets at home. When I had been rode for 10 minutes, I found a huge traffic jam. There are many public buses(YBS),taxies and home cars. On that situation, my taxi driver told me some essential tips to survive in Yangon and some other facts about Yangon. So,I didn't feel bore and got knowledges about that city. If you,first friend in Yangon,are reading my blog,I would like to say again "Thank You". I gave him 7$ and he seemed very happy. I don't know this amount was much or not. I rested for a night at hotel. After that day, I firstly went to the Shwedagon Pagoda,most famous landmark for Myanmar and also for Yangon. I found the people who are very friendly and helpful and also tourists. Burmese people told me where the places are Birthday Corner and I watered slowly down the Buddhist statue at Sunday Corner. It was very amazing manner because they watered the statue by cups with their ages. That means if you're 26, you will need to water 26 cups of water. The views on the Pagoda are amazing and all my minds are feeling cool. And, I went to the nearest park called People's Park. When I was there, I found the kids who are playing happily and their parents who are relaxing. I stayed in the park about 45 minutes and went to Inya Park located near the Inya Lake. I went to that park by YBS and it costed only 300 MMK. This amount equals about 0.2$. I thought it was so cheap and the air-con systems on the buses are absolutely good. I loved that public transportation system. In the park, I found my people who are doing exercises,couples and groups of friend. Their face expressions seemed very happy. I heared that this place is held for Water Festival called "Thingyan" every year. When the sun goes down,I went to my hotel. On the way, I found the Burmese Street Foods. The making system of these foods are looked very amazing and I interested the making of montlinmayar, one of the street food in Myanmar. I tasted all the foods that I founded and I liked very much the one called monthingarr, Burmese traditional food. The smell of monthingarr is quite good. It is the mix of rice noodle and cooked bean liquid and some other ingredients. After eating this tasty food, I went to my hotel and take a rest. On the next day, I checked in at the reception and flighted back to the country where I live. I only stayed for one day in Yangon because my office manager called me back. I failed my challenge because I can't continue to Thailand. But even staying for one day, I was very happy and founded interesting things. If I have a chance, I will go back to Yangon and visit many places and buy some souvenirs. And there are many historical places where I wanted to go. I hope you guys enjoyed to my blog. See you guys in my next blogs.

 

For the last two years I chose to go to Bangkok because it is one of the most diverse and exciting city of Asia.Before I decided to go to Bangkok,I found about Bangkok and which places are the best place to go.And I watched Bangkok blog on YouTube.After watching the blog I was very excited to go and I can’t wait to go.I went there with my aunty.It was my first time travelled without my parents.We decided to stay in there about 1 week.Flight time was 8am.So we should wake up at 5 or 6 am.It was very early for me to wake up.But I can’t sleep well because of excitement.So I can wake up earlier than my aunty.We prepared our suitcases and we set off from home half past six.We arrived at the airport about half past seven.It took 1 hour and 15 minutes to arrive Bangkok.Bangkok time is 30 minutes earlier than Myanmar.When we reached Suvarnabhumi Airport,I was amazed that the new airport was so beautiful.I took out my phone and had a few shots at there.We went to hotel by taxi.When we arrived at hotel,we unpacked out suitcases and took a shower.After that we went to restaurant near hotel.We ordered papaya salad,Tom Yum soup,pork skewers and two bowls of rice.They all were very tasty but spicy.It was the first day of trip,we didn’t plan where to go.So we planned on that day for next days.On second day,we ate breakfast at the hotel.We went to Temple of the Emerald Buddha which is famous in Bangkok.It is also call Wat Pho.Wat Pho is a great place to get a traditional Thai message and there is the reclining Buddha.We took our shoes off to enter.We can get water bottles free outside.We took photos with the white walls outside.After that we went to Center Point Siam Square.It is IT mall.There are  big technology labels such as iStudio,computer games,cameras and accessories.We bought a new camera and we took with that camera in there.After that we came back to hotel.But we didn’t eat dinner.So we bought snacks,instant foods and drinks at seven eleven.On the third day, my aunt called her friend to meet.Her friend told us to wait her in front of the hotel.Finally we meet with her.She came with her daughter by car.Her daughter is 14 years old and her name is Katharine.First we ate lunch.When we finished our breakfast,Katharin and me said to aunt that we wanted to go to playground.They agreed our wish and finally we arrived at Dream World.It has a lot of interesting rides and water park.We rode a rollercoaster which zips along through the pitch darkness and another.After that we were tried and we ate dinner.When we arrived hotel,we fall asleep.Next day,we woke up about 11am.At 2pm Katharine and her mother called us to come out of the hotel.We went to floating market.A floating market is a market where goods are sold from boats.It is a little far from bangkok.A trip to bangkok is not complete without a visit to one of the famous floating markets.There are many kind of foods.We ate some traditional food in there.After that we went to Iconsiam.We can go there car or ship.We went with ship because I thought it will be excited.But I had seasickness.So I felt dizzy when I arrived Iconsiam.But I was okay when I drunk Coca Cola.We started to visit the whole mall.When I entered the mall,I was really amazing about decorations.We took many photos with our a new camera.We ate hot pot for our dinner.It was so delicious.We watched water show outside.It was really beautiful.On next day,my aunt and me went to Terminal 21.Each floor are different city for example first floor is Tokyo and second floor is London.We watched movie in cinema and I bought a new shoes.Another day I stayed in my aunt friend house because my aunt had to do work.
