I remember a trip that my parents and I took two years ago
It is a trip to Akauk Taung, Pyay in Myanmar
It has been over two years since me and my parents do not travel anymore
It is because of Covid 19 Pandemic and now the political situation here
It is not safe anymore from all aspects
It was a day trip. But we spent one night before and after the day trip on bus
We had to take our bus at 10 PM
And we arrived at Shwe San Daw Pagoda, Pyay at about 5 AM
We took photos there. Here they are
The last two photos are me and my mother
I remember that we ate at Daw Ou Rice Salad Shop in Pyay
Fellow Asean Hivers may not like it as it is a Myanmar cuisine
I regret that I had not taken that cuisine pics
Then we were taken to Akauk Taung
Which is series of Buddha Images engraved in the Irrawaddy cliff
We had to take a boat there. Here are these pics
This is a scene from our boat
Wearing a bamboo hat is our local girl guide and
On the right is our guide boy
Behind are series of engraved Buddha Images
This is the Akauk Taung Monastery Jetty
Where you can go up the river cliff supported by bamboo stair cases
This is my mother with two of our local girl guides on the return boat
Then we were taken to Ancient Pyu Archaeological Site in Pyay
We took photos there. Here they are
My mother in Baw Baw Gyi Pagoda
My mother in Yahandar Pond
My mother in Ancient Pyu Tomb
This is all of our package tour members
This is my mother and father in Phaya Gyi Stupa
On the return trip, we had dinner in Shwe Taung
This is where we dined
I am quite sad that we cannot go on a trip like that this year
Because of Covid 19 and the unstability in Myanmar
I have not been to any Asean coutries or any other foreign countries
As I cannot afford over thousands of USD for just a vacation
Local travel is fine for me as their costs are much cheaper
Thanks for reading my post, Asean Hivers
