It looked like it was about to fall down, but it didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The bus for Chaitiyo was playing the fad music of Myanmar maybe. My suprise was that some songs were cover songs of japanese artists. Maybe the japanese artists was Ayaka?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t listen to Ayaka&#8217;s songs, but I was glad to listen to them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I had arrived in Kinpun, then checked in the hotel. After that, I took the bus for golden rock. I noticed that I didn&#8217;t have enough cash in the bus to go back to the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I thought I was able to manage somehow or another, so I reached the pagoda which had the golden rock on the mountain.<\/p>\n<p>On the way to golden rock, we needed to take off our shoes, but the floor was too hot. The sun had made it too hot. It was too hot, so I remembered about Rin in &#8220;Hokuto no Ken&#8221;*.<\/p>\n<p>*one of the japanese cartoon<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I got to lose interest in the golden rock, so I headed to the bus station for descending return path which was different with coming path. I noticed I had made a mistake about the way after a little while.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Eh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;ve already walked a little while. I knew there were some bus stops on the way for the pagoda. So I continued to walk thinking I could reach there.<\/p>\n<p>I was too sweaty. Then I got chill.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the way, two local guys guided me to the bus stop, but we reached a waterfall. It wasn&#8217;t a bus stop.<\/p>\n<p>There seemed to be only Myanmar people. The guys who guided me asked me, &#8220;Go to the waterfall!&#8221;. I wanted to do it. But I worried about taking a bus and feeling cold a little, so I gave up.<br \/>\nI came to my sense after I was looking to the children who played in the waterfall with my envied eyes. Then I went to look for the bus stop myself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally I found it!<\/p>\n<p>I made triumphat pose because I kept to descend hard stairs in the houses of tribe people for around 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When I was waiting for the bus, the old guy who was a shop staff asked me with his kindness. ( I was too sweaty at that time )<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you need water?&#8221;<br \/>\nI really wanted to buy it. I really wanted to do it, but I didn&#8217;t have enough cash even for bus fare&#8230; I told him that with sorry.<br \/>\nThen he said to me with a smile.<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s a present.&#8221;<br \/>\nHe gave me a water of bottle without fee.<br \/>\nOhhhhhhhhhh! Heyyyyyyyyy! I love youuuuuuuuu!<br \/>\nThe water was very cold and tasty! Cold and tasty!<br \/>\nI wanted to return something somehow or other. So I gave him surplus Thai money, 13 bahts. Then he was glad of it. Maybe it was just polite in public.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I told the bus staff that I didn&#8217;t have enough cash for the fare. (I needed more 200 MMK) Then he told me it was okay. Yahoo!<\/p>\n<p>And I took the bus. On the way back, another staff collected the fare. I gave him all the cash I had&#8230; Other passengers began to talk about something, then the staff gave me back 800 MMK. Uh? Usually I needed to pay 2,500 MMK, but I paid 2,300 MMK this time. Then he gave me back 800 MMK. Ah&#8230; It was their kindness.<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t feel that I was shamefull at all, but I felt just thankful for them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I ate dinner in the cart near my hotel. I ordered something hot because I felt a little cold. Then the staff provided me a kind of noodle and curry soup. And she gave me a hot tea for free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I felt Myanmar&#8217;s kindness today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I felt it, but I wanted to escape from Myanmar early because of chewing cigarettes and the food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to Chaitiyo??? to see the golden rock in the morning.
