Arrived to Yangon this morning, and, as usual, walked over to the Shwedagon Pagoda to get through some of the jet lag. Lot of re-gilding and repairing going on. [NOTE: I imagine there is a lot of merit associated with repairing the roof of the main pagoda, i.e. the one containing the eight Buddha hairs].
