2016/5 緬甸七日游 day 6： 故都仰光

5/27 -

鑒於孩紙有些熱傷風俺們決定今天她倆可以睡懶覺然後在酒店的空調環境休整一天。俺則同樣是早早地就起了，年紀大覺少（乾咳兩聲），扛著相機掃街去了。俺們的旅店在21街，就在蘇雷街邊上，離蘇雷廟sule temple一公里。這個蘇雷街是條非常繁忙的大街，兩邊都是店鋪，人行道上滿是攤販，賣吃的用的，人來人往，熙熙攘攘，還有尼姑穿著粉色的袍子排著隊化緣，奇怪的是沒看見多少和尚，而且這邊他們都穿拖鞋，不當赤腳大仙。街兩邊的建築是各色各樣，但都比較老舊，有歐式的，印度風的，還有穆斯林式的，這條街上貌似有很多穆斯林。網上看的說緬甸的穆斯林鬧事兒也很兇，摩擦不斷。

儘管是陰天氣溫還是不低，外面走一圈也是一身汗。小吃攤子上的米粉和牛雜看著不錯，不過俺還是不敢鼓足勇氣嘗試一下。有興趣嘗試的同學去之前打個預防針可能沒問題，那個針好像叫typhoid。一路走一路看西洋景，很快就到了蘇雷廟。有了前幾天當赤腳大仙的經歷俺今天是說啥也不會脫鞋脫襪了，哪怕是金鑾殿俺也不進去！在外面瞅瞅就行了。中午回旅店跟那兩位女士吃個午飯，下午她們繼續在房間里看卡通上微信俺繼續出去溜達。

俺下午的方向是瑞光大金塔，距離俺的旅店近五公里。一路走走看看也還算不乏味。下午太陽出來了，挺熱地，又是一身大汗。到了瑞光塔俺也是在外面瞄了一眼就走了。據說裡面很大，等俺有功夫上網搜搜照片吧！呵呵。。。晚飯還是在旅店裡，菜單選擇有限，不過也沒法子。餐廳里沒有緬甸啤酒，所以吃完飯出去賣啤酒，結果還挺費事兒，問了幾個人才找到一家貌似中餐館有緬甸啤。賣了兩瓶回屋了。孩紙在空調環境呆了一天嘛狀況都木有，難道這就是傳說中的溫室里的花骨朵？這一天就這麼過去了。

旅店的樓頂餐廳，觀景台。一眼望去破破爛爛地。呵呵。。。

遠處河邊的碼頭

旅店貌似就在中國城

遠處的蘇雷塔

底下的蘇雷大街，人來人往，熙熙攘攘

覺得這張照片很好

下樓，掃街開始

牛雜吧，很酷，坐在攤子上，吃著牛雜跟攤主有一搭沒一搭的聊兩句。。。

這樣的攤點滿街都是

穆斯林風來了

清真寺

金鋪

這個也貌似穆斯林風格

華為手機廣告，俺也有華為手機，挺好的。缺點是英文輸入很爛。瀏覽器有時自帶防火牆。

衛星天線很時興

尼姑

蘇雷塔的門面上還有這個，華裔捐的?

蘇蕾塔

和葛可親的警察叔叔

蘇雷塔

裡面的佛像，共有四個，一個方向供一個

這個樓貌似是印度和歐式的結合體

歐式？

政府大樓，印度式？

小廣場邊上還有個聖瑪麗教堂

 又是個清真寺

蘇雷塔里的另一個佛像

現做現買

檳榔塊包在葉子里，還有一大堆口味配料，供人們嚼食。沒敢試。

尼姑化緣

老式吉普

下午掃街開始

俺們旅店的所在，晚上看著挺嚇人的

老房子

河邊港口

中國城？

小五金一條街，店員在做禪

聖保羅教堂

這棟房子很破落，但是看著很牛叉叉

本來想偷拍美女的，結果焦距虛了，成就了一幅好圖

這就到了瑞光大金塔

惡毒的老太太，把麻雀抓來關在籠子里，要別人出錢才放生，聞所未聞。

這個雕像不知是神馬講究

瑞光塔 附近的公園

公園拐角還有個中餐廳，香港大餐廳，來開飯的貌似都是本地的上流社會

緬甸乒乓球協會

街上到處都是這種罐罐，供行人喝水的

剛剛從韓國產品展覽會出來的美女們

休息納涼的好去處

足球賽

下班的美女們

飲水罐

城市建設者們

這就又溜達回了旅店附近

最後來個噁心的，嚼檳榔吐的，滿街隨處可見。

after five days in Myanmar with the heat our little girl started to have a heat stroke symptom, fever and cold. she looked all right and was still pretty active. didn't look like something serious. so our decision is to just let mom and her sleep in and spend the whole day in the hotel in the ac'ed room. I got up early as usual and went for a stroll towards the sule temple.

our hotel was on 21st right next to sule blvd, about 1km from sule temple. sule blvd was a great place to sample daily life for the locals with stores, restaurants, street stands and eateries lined on both sides, all the hustles and bustles going on all day long. some eateries looked very interesting, especially the ones selling rice noodles and boiled beef intestines, but i didn't gather enough guts to give it a try.

buildings on both sides of the street were a mix of old European and Muslim styles and everything else in between. the street was busy and crowded, full of cars, bikes, and pedestrians going all directions. although it was a cloudy day the high temperature made a walk like this a sweaty one. on my way back i ran into a big rain shower, it took a while before it finally stopped. while i was taking shelter under a gold store's canopy i got to see people rushing everywhere, not slowing down a bit! a mosque prayer call went off in the middle of the heavy rain, a very cool mix right in front of my eyes.

i did make it to the sule temple, walked around the square next to it. no, i didn't get in, after the last few days nobody's going to make me removing my shoes and socks for a while. i only took a peek from the outside. went back to hotel to have lunch with my girls. they also had a good time resting and catching up on cartoons and social medias.

after lunch, i took another walk towards the shwedagon temple, some 4km away. it was getting pretty hot and sunny by now. i was sweating big time. didn't get in this temple, either. the walk itself was great for people watching. had dinner at hotel again, the hotel restaurant didn't have many selections, but there wasn't much we could do. the thing that griped me the most was that the restaurant didn't have Myanmar beer. so we went out to get some. didn't seem to be an easy task, after consulting with a couple of people, we were finally directed to a seemingly Chinese restaurant and bought a couple of Myanmar beer. Myanmar beer is a pretty decent lager. i also tried mandalay beer with a shiny blue lable, it wasn't very good in my opinion, too light with little flavor. there went another day in Myanmar!
