Tonight's Sunset, with a Friend

This evening we went to watch the sunset at the waterfront. It was pretty nice.

There are lots of friendly people in Mawlamyine.... In fact pretty much everyone is super friendly. We've bumped in to this guy a few times during our time here. His name is U. Khin. Every time he see's us he stops to chat. We were just sitting there watching the sunset and he was driving by on his scooter and stopped to say hi. We offered him a seat and we talked for a bit.

After a while, he offered to go get some tea, but then quickly changed his mind and invited us to his house to drink some beers instead. He bough us some tasty street food from the lady outside and gave us some Thai beers.



His house is right on the waterfront and just a few blocks from our hotel. He showed us his family pictures from the 70's, which were really interesting. He was a seaman and had been to many countries including the Philippines, America, Kuwait and Hong Kong. His wife lives in the UAE(I think that is the country he was saying.) He's 62 now and a really friendly guy. I'm super jealous of his house! This is my dream, big living room with a wide open view of the sunset every night. Plus, you walk ten feet outside and there is a lady making awesome Burmese food for dirt cheap!
