First guest…

On Wednesday Mel arrived from Tokyo… and quickly found some new glasses.

I have been at work, so Ant has been in charge of entertainment. Mel has been happy to come over to our hotel and abuse the (superslow) internet and air conditioning, and I think between them they have managed to do a lot of washing (we are trying to avoid the hotel’s extortionate laundry charges), and hiking about the town…  in the evenings we have been trying out more places to eat in Yangon. Ranging from a fairly fancy pizza, to delicious grilled meat and veg in Chinatown, and “Mimilay Icecream” on the street which was also pretty good. We got several free samples including Avocado Icecream (probably not one to be repeated) and Coconut Icecream (delicious – we will try to recreate when our Kenwood Chef Icecream bowl arrives!) and Cashew nut Icecream. Interesting… but tasted like it had be doused with perfume.
