Getting to know the relaxed capital of Yangon a bit better, as well as throwing discs again after eight weeks - that was my mission for the second visit here.
I took the time to wander haphazardly through the streets, visit the Sule Pagoda, and attend practice games between the International School's Ultimate team and the local Zero team. As expected, great fun!
The most fun was that at the last moment I found out by an absurd coincidence that one of my favorite players, Nadja from Denmark, has been living in Yangon for a few months now. And then we spent a fun day with their expat community over breakfast, lunch, ultimate gambling, dinner to a very good reflexology massage ... which was an extra exciting perspective for me
Speaking of perspectives: I got to know a Burmese from the Chin state (I had not yet, I was not in the wild west). He works as a Christian pastor (Baptist) and actually proselytizes in the north. He finds the peculiarity of the Buddhists, with their offerings to the Buddha loudly to roam the streets, obviously silly: If you do something good, then rather without bragging about it ...
When you are in a country for a few weeks, you somehow love it (with all its quirky and great idiosyncrasies). Man is just a habit animal. A total pity, but maybe also good, that the time of the visa has almost expired and I have to move on now.
Bonus pictures: "The street is my shop and restaurant", Taubenstrich and a wonderfully stocked unicorn shop.
