I had noticed a street one day as we were driving downtown that had the most amazing view of the Shwedagon pagoda. The street leading up to it was a riot of colors and activity. Lisa and I got dropped off at the foot of it today and strolled up. Enjoy 20 pictures from Gyar Tawya street.
Not technically on the street yet, but on our bike ride over we passed this guy with a mobile bird cage. Pets? Food?
Here is the view from the bottom of the street. It gets better and better every step
These are the machines that grind sugarcane into... sugarjuice? Mmmm sugarjuice.
This guy had a crowd around him, so of course we came to watch. He had everyone laughing, a barbie doll laying on the ground, and Cobras in the boxes. Man I wish I could understand Burmese.
Once I saw the cobra, I was like this little dude- watching from the back row!
Same
Moving along, we passed many food booths. We had already eaten so it will have to be next time that I get some roasted corn and peanuts. Made me think of Jason Nepp
Mobil restaurant
Getting closer. It might look like this is a pedestrian path but every so often a car would cruise up!
Trishaws ready to roll
Fresh Fish! (you should see the chickens!)
Trishaw rollin
I would have loved to see this in action- There must be a long metal pole that goes in the tube, turns the screw, and voila! water.
My kind of grab taxi
It was nice strolling along with Lisa, and I'm glad she brought her camera as she took the best photos of the day!
Just kickin it in a trishaw
