Burma just gets more bizarre......a 15 hour bus journey back to Yangon through river beds, over wooden bridges etc etc. The lady next to me on the bus stared at me for two hours, then got travel sick and threw up all over my feet...whie I was holding her baby...a normal bus ride here.

Back in the city I managed to pick up 36 Jackie Chan films for 3 quid..result and then we got ready to sample the Burmese night life. We started drinking our 1 quid bottle of palm spirit brought from a village outside bagan then went out to the only place to be in Yangon...JJ entertainment.

As the only two young white blokes there again we had a lot of attention...bizarrely the night consisted of a fashion show, with the cream of stunning Burmese women. But of course older men were buying them again, this time putting necklasses of flowers around their necks if they wanted to take them home.

I got chatting to the Burmese equivalent of Liv Tyler, nice chatting to a girl that doesnt stink and vomit on your feet like the rest i've met here..

A final day in the amazing country and back to the western world tomorrow
