Talked with Martin from Austria who was doing a PhD in Physics. He had travelled to many countries and we talked about Europe's strengths and weaknesses and he shared his reservations about Muslim integrations and refugee problems.
Checked into Winner Guesthouse, a cheaper option and had an early night after visiting our first temple:
Schwezigon Pagoda, golden and stunning in the evening light
Next morning off to the temples. What an overwhelming sight! Neither of us were prepared for the sheer number of beautiful ruins dotted here and there in the countryside (about 3000?)
Visited Ananda Phato, probably one of the most important temples, where four 10m high Buddhas stand in an inner sanctum guarded by graceful sentinels (the hands mean stop and wait)
