Myanmar - Mandalay

About 1,5 hour flight north from Yangon we had our other launch symposium. Only spent a day here but was lucky to be able to see some of the local sights and history. Amazing city it was! Warmly recommend to spend 1-2 days here.


First place of interest was U Bein's Bridge a bit outside the city in prefecture called Amarapura. One of the most amazing sunset I've seen 
A loooong wooden bridge stretching over the swamp 

Lady selling sparrows, free a bird and get good luck because you did a good deed. I did, twice! 


Magical 
Beer seldom taste this good
Get your lucky ticket from this guy 
Or maybe some intestines from this guy? 
Night walk around Mahamuni Temple. Gold is the color in Myanmar! 
No ladies here...
Following morning we visited Kuthodaw Pagoda. There are 728 identical white small pagodas build around it 

First I thought this cat had caught a rat. Looking closer I noticed it was a tiny tiny kitten the mommy was washing. Soooo small still 

Mandalay Hills about 30 minutes drive from Downtown. Amazing view over the whole city from here. A bit haze though 
Coming up to Mandalay Hills by escalators, this was the first time I rode an escalator bare feet 
Temple up in the hills 
Mandalay Hills and Palace from one of the Hilton rooms with a balcony 
Palace walls, huge area! 
Launch symposium in Mandalay for our products 
And a victory beer after all work
