*28 Dec 2004"
At the bus, there are some western and one westener sat in front of us. I spoke english to him and he spoke burmese back. I was strange, because his burmese was so nice. Later I know he was teaching english at a private school as a english teacher. And lived about 4,5 years in ygn already. This time his parents come to visit him and he sent them to "Kalaw" which is a mountain town also. He said he like that place very much, so he wanted his parents to visit also. "Kalaw" is a town on the way to Taunggyi. So they drop off first. Before the sun rise up, we had our breakfast on a road restaurant and I started my "Shan Noodle". The whole trip between Taunggyi and Inle, I had Soup and Salad Shan Noodle. So delicious for long time didn't have for it.

Taunggyi
I had back to the capital of Shan State again. This is not my first time, but I had no any image (memroy) about it. All the bus stop at the terminal which is under the Hill. And we need to take small car, Taxi to going up the town. We took the mini car and go the KyawSoe's Teacher's Brother house. May be that was too early (am 7:00), Teacher brother shop is not opened yet. So we went to a Tea Shop, and having our Breakfast. Pae Pyot Nan Pyar (Bean + Nan) with a Hot Milk Tea. When we backed to the shop, he arrived and sent as the the bus terminal which is located in the town. That Hilux can go to Inye. When we arrived, the car is already full. Of couse after plus us, the car is full with full. As I remember, TDA sit at the front. TTM, KS and PWP sit at the back. So where KKS and I sat?? We didn't sit, we were hanging out at the back. Not only 2 of us, there are about 10 people hanging like this. That is very dangerous because the car is going down to the hill. After passing the Gate of town means we were out of Taunggyi again. I was doing more dangerous thing that was going up the roof and sat...he.he.But the air, the view, incredible nice.
Inle
The second biggest lake in Myanmar. A lake surrounded by Mountain. My first time to here even I was borned in Shan State. Before the car arrived the terminal, so many people are asking "Hire Boat, hire boart". Later one uniform man walked to us and same question to us. Being as wearing uniform, we thinked we can trust this man. He arranged us to put our luggage and a shop, bought some food for Bird and we went to the boat. We also asked him to hire a car for us to "PyinDaYa". He said he can arranged after we visited Inle and back we will make it for us. We will never know wheather he took us with very expensive price or resonable one. Anyway we accpeted this amount, so we must pay for it, right?

We had our lunch at a upper water, middle water restaurant..he.he (how to say.. understand??) Also visit a Cat Jump Temple. First, I want to stay one night at Inle, but time is not allowed us. We went to the most important place Pagoda "Phaung Daw Oo". This pagoda houses five small Buddha images.

We bought some food and bread for this bird. They are so smart, when they saw the boat, they come around and if someone feed them, other birds will join to the party. We just need to throw the food up and they can catch up, although it drop to the water, we can catch it from the surface of water. What a funny thing is, we gave them food, we gave us shit. I don't make a mistake and you don't see in wrong, as a bird, they eat and they shit very fast. So after feeding a few time, we felt they like B52 and throwing bomb to us. So we need to take caover like open umbrella or throwing 45 degree.
We backed the bank and the uniform uncle was welcoming us. (See how a greatful warming greet to us! ... or our money..he.he). At least he found a Van Car for us. And we were finishing our short Inle Trip by leaving with that car to our next point "PinDaYa".
Here are some photos for Inle Trip.
PinDaYa
When we arrived to PinDaYa, the sun was already down the hill. And we found a Hotel to settle down and going out of dinner. Being a small donw after sun down, all shop is closed. Boys one room, girls one room. I remembered the electric voltage was so unreliable, Lucky our camera chargers didn't borke down by this.
This is a wonderful day, we arrived Taunggyi, Inle, PyinDaYa within a day.
