Mornings are a good time for that. And the main meal is eaten at noon or a little before, so if you want to eat trad Burmese style: rice with lots of side dishes of all kinds, plan to eat that at lunch.<br />The exception is a resto called Feel Myanmar in Rangoon, which deals with so many foreigners as well as locals that it does a full service fresh and good Burmese mrice meal at supper, with ltos of choices. <br />Bus stops, on long distance rides, often have a huge number of choices too, and the food is usually very fresh.<br />Try to find the noodle shop called Osaka in Rangoon, about five blocks north of Yegyaw market, in the east end. They have great noodles - pork in a light coconut sauce, and great condiments. In Bagan look for the noontime resto under the big tree by the old city wall gate in Old Bagan - spectacular.naominoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729655854071822677.post-4727612995292790832012-02-26T21:25:04.888-05:002012-02-26T21:25:04.888-05:00We honeymoon in burma next week! any eating sugges...We honeymoon in burma next week! any eating suggestions please?i would be so grateful!sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729655854071822677.post-81050389393859259622012-02-20T23:14:12.075-05:002012-02-20T23:14:12.075-05:00This hits home.

I often have the very same thoughts in Turkey, where in even the most mediocre hotel in the most off-the-track town you've usually got (free) wi-fi in your room. I need to be online to deal with editors and to not miss opportunties to make a living (requests come in, unbidden, occasionally). But I like to get that done first thing, as you do, which means ... well, you know what it means. Travel used to be a time for early bedtime and catching up on sleep, and in hot climates naps during the scorching part of the day or perhaps some writing or reading in the room. It's become something to fit in between work and obligations and just keeping up with what's online. I'd like to figure out how to change that.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906568354410679764noreply@blogger.com
