Though it was around 5am, I had to stand in a long queue.

Don Mueang Airport
But, I found that the queue I was standing in was towards web-checkin counters. Then, I rushed to a ticketing counter.
Because I didn't eat anything, I gulped down hot dog near boarding gate.
Air Asia flight took me to Yangon International Airport within 2 hours.
Immigration officer said "Arigato-gozaimasu(Thank you)" to me.
I guess there would be a lot of Japanese tourists.
After getting out of the airport, I told a taxi driver to go to a hotel via Hsin Hpyu Daw, which is listed on my guidebook as elephant zoo.

Time I spent in Hsin Hpyu Daw was so short. The taxi driver advised me to drink sugarcane juice there. I paid 1500 Kyat for the glass of juice. it's so expensive, considering average prices.

The glass of juice
The driver took me to the hotel. I checked my baggage there, and then, walked towards Shan Road station. Because I couldn't find acurrate timetable, I had to wait more than an hour for a train to Yangon Central.

The train I boarded was imported from Japan. The roll sign on the train showed "多治見(Tajimi)", a station in Gifu,Japan.
At Yangon Station, I was thinking about where to visit.
Anyway, I took pictures around the station

Yangon Railway Station
My guidebook says Shwedagon Pagoda is the nearest spot. I took a taxi there. Shwedagon Pagoda prohibits visitors from wearing shoes. Then, a boy and a girl sold plastic bag to put shoes into. I rejected to buy one. But, the boy compulsively put my shoes into plastic bag. Though I tried to drag the shoes, he firmly grabed the shoes.
I forcefully paid 1000Kyat. Visitors must be aware of the crime like this.

I went to a park to take a taxi
After leaving the temple, I took a taxi for Museum. What astonished me was that the taxi driver took his friends on board.
As the taxi driver didn't know how to get to the museum, I told him to go to a hotel along Ahlone road.

The hotel is catered for Japanese tourists?
The museum was full of European tourists, and displayed historic and cultural things in Myanmar.
After that, I went back to the hotel via Yangon Central station.
