![Bagan sunrise landscape with hot air balloon [David Tan]](https://www.daweitan.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DSC08972-1160x700.jpg)
Before travelling to Myanmar, the only place I wanted to see was Bagan. So the hype was high for this place. I knew I was going to wake up every morning and go on top of a temple way before sunrise to try to take a classic Bagan picture, the one with the hot air balloon over the temples and pagodas.
Life in Yangon starts right before sunrise until just after sunset and during the night, not much happens. That is probably what I prefer about Yangon and in Myanmar in General.
After travelling in Asia for a few months, I had seen enough pagoda and temples for my entire life but by visiting Myanmar (Burma) I couldn’t avoid them. Especially while the main attraction of Yangon was Shwedagon pagoda.
The 3-hour train loop around Yangon is an exceptional and unique way to experience the city’s daily life of commuters.
It is true, there isn’t much to do in Geneva. Most of the tourists only stop there to go skiing in a French ski resort and don’t even stay. Geneva, I like you but you are boring.
