Arrived in Yangon Myanmar after a 14 hour flight via Singapore Airlines from Auckland New Zealand. Yangon Airport temperature at 10.30am was 33 deg c.
Peregrine tours arranged transport for me from Yangon Airport to Asia Plaza Hotel. The heat and humidity was a welcome relief after the changeable weather in New Zealand.
To me Asia has not changed. Traffic whether you are in India, China, Thailand and Myanmar is the same. Asia Plaza Hotel is 30 min from the Yangon airport. It was quite an experience and it bought back memories from previous South East Asian trips.
After unpacking I remembered what I had forgotten to bring. Great advice by a seasoned traveller on Yangon plane I will never forget includes: no 1bring a pair of shoes that are comfortable to walk in but easy to take off, lots of the places we will visit requires shoes off ; no 2. bring a small collapsible umbrella to shade you from the heat ; no 3.caramel latte sachets for yummy coffee you should always bring with you; no 4. even though you are carrying US $ it is worthwhile carrying $200 US to be converted to local currency for your trip; no 5. Check trip advisor reviews for the places you visit esp. Must dos; no. 6 use you tube videos to assist you with basic lessons for local languages
