First I need to say about the Internet connections. At the last Yacht hotel, the internet worked at least 50% of time decently. Current hotel internet works 10% of time, mostly at night time. So my updates can come pretty late from now on unless something is fixed. It looks like provider is not very reliable as the hotel connection seems working but provider don't let hotel through to internet.
We got up early this morning and had breakfast at hotel cafe which is the famous 365 Cafe connected to Thamada Hotel. They have four different breakfast set selections and I chose to try "A" this morning. It is ”European set”, having coffee or tea, orange juice, 2 fried eggs, toast and Marmalade. I am still in the mood, where I miss Finnish coffee. I am sure it will pass soon :)
After breakfast we headed to downtown to the Mahar Bandula Park Street or the ”Bar Lane”. On the way we saw lot of street stalls selling brunch snacks like:
 |
| Samosa thoke |
 |
| Myanmar pancake with tomato and jaggery |
 |
| Pancakes with poppy seeds or coconut slices |
Street is the famous old electronic importers street at "old times". Today this street is still full of small household electronics shops, guest houses, restaurants and bars.
 |
| Selection of reading and sun classes. "Price is right". |
Street has also lot of small guesthouses "without window" but the price is more affordable than the bigger hotels around town.
 |
| Grand Royal hotel was "royal" looking the prices but not inside. |

After having a break, we went out for dinner at evening with some more relatives and two Chinese business men, visiting just other side from Myanmar-China border. So naturally we had a Chinese banquet dinner with rotating table. And the Chinese style dining, all the food is placed to the middle of table, where everyone can take whatever they like. "Me like"
