Bago

Bago is nice little town, dominated by the noise from the road that runs through it, with dense traffic at all hours of the day. There is no pedestrian crossing to cross the road, and the only life that there is along the Bago River are the ghettos on the banks. Most of the hotels are next to the main road, so suffer from the endless noise of the road. To make matters worse, the electricity goes off promptly each night (they say except in the rainy season) and many hotels do not have a working generator to start the air conditioner. However, Bago offers some interesting places to visit, like two huge reclining Buddha or the largest stupa (buddist temple) in Myanmar (Burma).
