Bobo Gyi Nat Pwe

Myanmar is full of surprises and not all of them nice ones. We were given the dates (by the Tourist Information Office in Yangon) of the Bobo Gyi Nat Pwe at Taungthaman village. It was due to end on 23rd September: it actually ended the day before we arrived! Fortunately there are many, many festivals in Myanmar and tomorrow we will go to Shwebo north of Mandalay to a three-day Buddhist festival.
