    We got involved with the locals at Bogyoke Market, Bogyoke Aung San Road. A bustling market selling anything and everything. We changed money here as we heard it was a better rate on the black market than in the banks - we found out later this wasn't true. Things are changing so quickly here so ask around. Great food stalls and great people watching!
