Wow.. access it seems

It seems like we have access to our blog today. So nice. We did arrive yesterday in Yangon. The plane was a bit more full. At least 35 people! But then again, air asia had canceled their flight and Myanmar Airways was 'full' (read: canceled). Even Bangkok air was full but we don't know if that was a real full or a cancellation... Anyways, we did arrive. 2 westerners on the plane and both (Sandra and another girl) both work in Yangon. Even now in downtown Yangon there are very few westerners to be seen but we have seen at least 4 tourists... (in almost 2 hours downtown).

It was nice to be back home. Though we did go to KK's teashop first. Sandra had no more kyats so she got a taxi from the airport to the teashop where she left the business of paying for the cab to Kyaw Kyaw. We stayed a while in the teashop, drinking in Burmese ambiance again (very nice after a week in Khao San Rd) and drinking nice burmese tea (also very nice after 3 weeks of noit having any). The apartment was much as we'd left it. Though much drier (1 wall that had had a serious bout of stains thanks to the rainy season) and again quite dusty (something you can't really tackle here).

We'll go off for some serious shopping now. There's not much in the house and so we need to stack up. Fruit and veggies to begin with. Cheese, bread and niceties after... It is hot and dry so lots of fluids as well (water we have but KK likes a beer every once in a while and Sandra loves to drink milk at the moment. In large quantities).

veilig 'thuis' dus. Blij te zien dat je kunt internetten, dan lijk je toch wat dichterbij. Geweldig om je even te horen ook, donderdag.
