Up early to get the bus from Mandalay to Bagan. Breakfast at half 7 stocked up ready as it was a 5 hour bus journey. Had to say bye to our mother throughout the stay the manager of the hostel the LOVELIEST lady ever gave us all a big hug before we left and then waved us off as if we were going to school haha! Didn't prepare for THE bumpiest bus journey ever the whole 5 hours was crazy no chance could you sleep you literally got thrown from your seat on more than 100 occasions me and Bas just kept looking at each other like really?! So glad to get to Bagan we got dropped off at the Ostello hostel Jess was staying at which looked cool got a dorm room straight away with 6 bunk beds in and then went straight to get some lunch. Decided to get some mopeds and just mission round Bagan checked out some temples, 1 temple some guy offered us a tour which he did and then done what we thought and proceed to try to sell us some painting he'd done and got unhappy when we didn't buy them. Soon realised Bagan is a hell of a lot different to Mandalay a lot more English speaking locals and a Bangkok feel to people approaching you trying to sell you stuff. Got to one temple where the kids were as bad as the adults but were great banter for being so young. A common conversation here is - Local: 'Where you from?' Me: 'England' Local: 'Aw, lovely jubbly' apparently that is a big English saying that they recognise haha! Seen the sunset on one temple after Bas got his wounds sorted after falling off his moped twice! Came back to our hostel after for a few beers met a English lad called Zak who bets worse than Bevo he bets at £1,000 a time on one game this month he is £10,000 up and looking at a spreadsheet he manages all his betting accounts on, he has got a LOT of money from betting. One bet he once lost £3,000 on one game which when saying it was like me losing a fiver on an acca. 2 Germans 1 lad and 2 girls are in our dorm so chatting and boozing with them Josh whos works behind the counter here is going to head to Chiang Mai after Myanmar with us which is cool. Bar shut at 12 and all shops shut was heading in a messy direction so we all hit the sack as ran out of booze, fags and well, what's a boozy night without that! :)
