A huge thank you to Floraine Hlaing for treating me to a wonderful half day tour of Yangoon.  Despite the rainy weather I really had a great time and saw all the major sights.  Floraine organized the time very well.  Naturally the tour ended with a trip to Shwedagon Pagoda which was truly memorable.  Truly a very special day which I will always remember.  I shoudl also mention that the driver was excellent.
