Though I was working almost the entire week I was in Yangon back in April, online I took a few trips to Chinatown and Little India to drink in the incredible atmosphere of the markets and food vendors cramming the streets.  Early in the morning to late at night, what is ed the city throbs with a multicultural pulse and the atmosphere has an energy faintly felt in Thailand with its shiny malls and trendy cafes (Bangkok’s Chinatown comes close but barely).

These are only a selection of meals and snacks I ate in my painfully short visit.  But the diversity!  Ah, I cannot wait to explore more in the future.
