Ayoyoyoy, I have made conversion for SEK instead of RM. My mind is eluding me.

Another temptation for me… oh when, when, when will I ever go to Myanmar?… Not in the next 2 years…

The tremendous amount of precious stones and other jewellery in the Pagoda is astonishing. The amount of pure gold alone is 9 tonnes!! The mother of all stone is the 76 carat diamond located at The Diamond Bud on top of the Pagoda

You can see the glitters of the diamond (at night of course) at certain spots, different colours some more!!

EF,

I used a 400d and spent about 2 hours at the pagoda. Myanmar geographical lesson is out of the question, we had a driver.

Anyway, $5 is equal to only about RM 18. I don’t know how you get to RM35. US$ is not Pounds.

Uno, I don’t see the diamond, vader.

Due, which camera?

Tre, how many hours did you spend there?

Quattro, will you do some Myanmar geographical lesson some day?

Cinque, $5 for entrance, translate into 35RM. That’s 3 trip to Petrosains. But it’s about the same price for entry to museums in Sweden.

At least they’ve given those kids some pet rocks to play with.

$5 entrance fee covers the cost of the stickers!
