[2011] Myanmar - Mandalay and Monywa
Mandalay is the second largest city in Burma after the former capital Yangon. Most of the attractions are outside the hotels area and need at least a bike to get there. People are very used with tourists and taxi drivers do their best to rip them off . They were actually amazed when we were refusing to pay for a ride more than it would cost us at home. Monywa is a much smaller city, just a few hours away and not so well known. We spent 1 day and half and saw no other foreigner. The place is well worth a visit for the nearby attractions.

The largest ringing bell in the world. It weights 90 tons and the British tried to take it away. While on the river the bell was dropped in the water and they haven't been able to lift it back. The Burmese people did that later.
