{Kyit Hti Yo Pagoda}
*25 Dec 2004*
Since NL and I didn't sleep at all, We can't say we woke up. When arrived Kin Pon Sa Kan, that was almost am 2:00. They arrange a restaurant which have some places for us to lie down and take a rest. We chose a place at upstair and prepared to sleep. Being so exciting of my mind, I can't sleep. So I went to outside with ATH. Unbelievable ther were too many people outside and some shops were already opened. Being about AM 2:00, the night was totally dark, but still a lot of people were going up to the hill. Some even didn't have any Light or Fire Stick. We just walked a few and backed to the restaurant. Just lay down for a few minute and still can't sleep. At that time NL woke up and said he want to go around. Why not, I can't sleep and I didn't want to lie down also. This time we went to other side, where the Car Terminal which can go up to the hill of "Ya Tae Mountain". Although that time is about AM 3:00, they said the road will open at AM 5:00. Most of the cars were already full and many people were searching for a vacant car. That time we felt we must also, otherwise we can't catch the 1st serious of car, then we would very late. So we went back to the restaurant, and woke all up. Wow, there were too crowd at Terminal like Hungry Ants searching Cake. After trying to get on 4~5 cars, we felt so tired. Lucky we found a car which have front seat. And they said it can be sit 6 people. We so happy because we have 9 people and to get a place for 3 people at back is earier a lot. Don't know why before the car started moving, we all 9 people were at the front of the car. I think we paid it for 15,000 kyats. Phyo Phyo and his 4 friends sat at behind. KKS, NL, ATH and me sat at the front. But the place really small enough for 4 big boys sit horizontally. When the car moved, the road was so terrible bad. I just felt that we like putting 9 people in a Can and shake shake. So finally, being as a tiny guy, I was sitting on ATH and KKS legs. There was no place for my legs to touch the bottom. So the whole body of mine including my legs were on their legs. As my bones are so sharp, they should be uncomfortable. But for me, I were like sitting on a Sofa.
The road was blight with the car light. Suddenly the car stop. And the driver said, we arrive. What? Only I can see is Darkness. I was thinking "Are you kidding me?", "I had been to Ya Tae Mountain Terminal before, at least must have some shops and light, right?". Before my thinking finished, the driver said "Too much cars were lining, we can't go inside the Bus Terminal.". Awww... we went down from the car and searching our Bags. Don't know why all the car switch off their head light. Really enviromental people they are, didn't waste any fuel. Even we can't see anything clearly, we can felt we were surrounding by a lot of peoples and talking to us. Robber?? No no. People who want to help you with charges. Actually they are luggage carrier. I heard "15,000 for all Luggage". I just don't know how to respond and heard another voice "12,000". I started confuess, so I asked NL with chinese, "how much is the normal price?". He told me "I don't know". Actually there were a lot of voice like in the center of Tenders. Sure, we were the tender goods. Suddenly heard "5,000". Oh.. why not. we were the smart consumer. Just counting, we had 9 pieces of luggage, only about 520 per luggage. In real, still at that time, we didn't know who gave this price. Other bidder were going away with some unlikely word like "Crazy, that price was too low." Because of noon sence people are leaving, we saw a child about 13~15 age beside us. Just wondering how can he carried that 9 pieces?? In real, he can't so we just give him 6 luggages and other 3 we brough by ourself. My coat is useful because we were on the mountain and that is about AM 5:00. We started to see the sun light. How a good morning being in the first days of Myanmar Trip.
After having some breakfast at Bus Terminal and we started to walk to our designation "Kyit Hti Yo". After a few 10 minutes, Phyo Phyo and his friends were disappear from our eyes because they were really younger than us. I started to feel that hot and tired. I hadn't do any exercise for many years since I was in HK. And felt that my coat is heavy enough to carry. I just shouting that "Want to hire a carrier to carr it." Of couse no one care ...who will care this crazy shouting guy. We knew that we must buy Mountain Stick and went to a shop and ask. 200Kyats ? Expensive? YEAP must cheapper for a next shop. Finally we reached our 2 Lions . That means we reached where we went to be. It was the enterance of "Kyit Hti Yo". We found our carrier there and started moving to the Sqare. AM 7:00 That is really nice. We choose a place to sit down and planning for the sleeping place. Why don't I say Hotel? Because there are only 2 hotels at the Mountain. Most people will choose to sleep at Restaurant. Since many many years ago, when we went there, we just chose restaurant. The rule was simple, "If you eat there, they give you place to sleep." That all restaurants were built by Wood and Bamboo. Before we arrived this time, few months ago, a big fire destroy and now all were new building. But the bad thing is, the rule didn't work anymore. Eat is eat, Sleep and Sleep. They seperate the charges. Being at Christmas, all prices are high as Sky, we had thinked to be slept at Square. But finally we chose a Model. A small and tiny room for 6 people, we tried to sleep with 9 people. But it was no problem for us. We can call this is a Inn, becuase no restaurant included.

{New restaurant of Kyit Hti Yo}
After taking a rest about an hour, we decided to go to another pagoda "Kyaut Htap Gyi". It was a pagoda that built at the top of one Big Stone, which is on another Big Stone. It was about 1 and half hours from our Inn. We had our lunch at a restaurant and staring our trip to "KHG". It was not that fun like before. Befause at before the way to "KHG" is cwroded. You can see the people go and come, just pass side by side. Now only about 10 mintues, you will see another group. Anyway, we arrived safety and take a few rest. Then backed to Kyit Hti Yo. When arrived about our Inn, we went to eat "A Kyaw = Deep Fried shop". That was nice, although not very clean, very delicious. And we went up again to the square. This time the square was already Full with people and almost can't walk. This is a free place to sleep. But you need to fight with the weather (cold and wind).
{Square}
After taking some photos, we went down to the pagoda named "Kyaut Tan Man - Stone Boat". Because the pagoda was built on a stone which like a boat. There are many many pagodas like this. Like Dagon Pagoda, Frog Pagoda which were on the way of Kyaut Htap Gyi. And went to a tea shop, which was very nice. Almost every time I went to Kyit Hti Yo, I went there. After that back to have our dinner and to the Inn. And we started our greatest job that played Playing Card. When we travelled, we would bring a pack of Playing Card. That was an essential thing. After playing a few minute, I felt I can hold on. Because that was already pm 10 and also my continue non sleeping for 40 hours since 24 Dec morning AM 6:00 woke up and went to HK Airpot, I didn't sleep until this time. So I said, "I will sleep and when you all want to go to square again, wake me up." Oh.. finally, I can sleep and I slept. Some were playing, some were sleeping.
