Water Level Transmitter Installation in Myanmar - Day 5 & 6 (2019/02/01~02/02)

Hello everyone, this is Liu Chang writing about the rest of our Myanmar field trip. Because most of our mission were accomplished in the beginning, so I decided to write the rest two days as one blog.

In day 5, we were planning to have some lectures with Sann Win Waung and BoBo Win about usage of windows server. However, because of the hard work of the first 4 days, Ralph-san got a stomach flu and had to rest at the hotel. So Sam-san became our teacher and taught us about how to make tasks in windows server and how to communicate with water lever and weather stations through ports.

In the evening, I went to the supermarket and got some medicine and food for poor Ralph-san. Hope he will be better soon.

In day 6, Ralph-san is still feeling not so good, so me and Sam are invited by BoBo Win, Kyu Kyu, Aye Myat Thu and Aung Aye Aung from YTU to have a sightseeing in Yangon. With their car our transportation became convenient.

At first, we went to Sri Mangalar Kabaraye Cave Pagoda. This is a pagoda built inside a cave by six monks. There are many wall paintings inside the pagoda which telling stories about Buddha. But I couldn't understand the Burma language, so BoBo-san bought me a English book~ Thanks a lot for his kindness.

Then we went for a restaurant hold by a famous actor in Myanmar, the food there is sour and spicy. We ate with our bare hands which is a new experience for me.

After lunch we went to Aung San Market for shopping. I bought some postcards there and our kind friends gave us a lot of presents like wallets and snacks. One amazing thing is that there are a lot of galleries here and as long as I can tell they are all quite fascinating.

At last we went for dinner in a palm wine restaurant. The palm wine has a special smell and tastes good in deed. We also had some palm fruits. The happy time is always faster than usual. Finally we have to say goodbye to eachother. Yangon really feels like my hometown (especially the spicy food). Hope we can meet soon in the future~
