The night was relatively exhausting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the roads were in much better\ncondition than what we had experienced on our first kilometers in Myanmar, the\nfirst part of the journey, until Monywa, felt like a rollercoaster. Not a\nwonder that it didn\u2019t take long until the first passengers started puking up. Another\nclear sign of being finally in South-East Asia, when the passengers are given a\npuke bag and a bottle of water when boarding a bus. When the bag gets full,\npeople casually hang it to the holder on the back of the seat in front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t only the curvy road and the\ngagging sounds of the fellow passengers that kept us awake. Also, we were\nstopping all the time. Twice we were told to change our seats in the middle of\nthe night and one time we even had to change the minibus, even though we had\nbooked a direct ticket to Mandalay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we finally arrived to Mandalay around\n5.30 am, we felt quite fucked up. We were so happy, that we had, for once,\nbooked a bit fancier accommodation with a comfy room and even a pool. The room\ncosted 27 euros per night, but it totally paid off. They let us check in\nstraight away even though the check-in time would have been at 2 pm and they\neven let us have a free breakfast that morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-3-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Nan Bwe Hotel in Mandalay, and the first time on this journey that we had a pool\" class=\"wp-image-3814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-3-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-3-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-3-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-3.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Nan Bwe Hotel in Mandalay, and the first time on this journey that we had a pool<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First things first \u2013 Bad and good news at Mandalay\nCity Hospital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we were, for the first time in a long\ntime, in a big city and going to stay there for a couple of days, it was time\nto check on Seri\u2019s health problems. He had had some kind of strange pain in the\nlower stomach on and off for weeks already.

After describing the\nproblems, the nurse measured Seri\u2019s weight, height and blood pressure, which to\nus didn\u2019t seem very relevant, but ok why not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were some language barrier problems\nwhile we talked to the doctor\u2019s assistant. After inspecting the ultra-sound\npicture, the man told that Seri has an 8 to 11 centimeters sized kidney stone!\nYikes, that\u2019s huge!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While waiting to meet the doctor, we were\nin shock. We almost started to cry while discussing if our only option is to\nfly home to get Seri to a surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, when we got to meet the doctor, he\ntold us, by inspecting the very same ultra sound picture, that the kidney stone\nis, in fact, about 5mm of size and totally harmless. 11 centimeters would be the\nsize of the whole kidney, lol. The doctor stated that the kidney stone had\nnothing to do with Seri\u2019s pain, that he\u2019s having a urinary tract infection and\nthat he should continue with the antibiotics prescribed by Dr. Johanna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"961\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Our Facebook prank with this picture was too succesful, as we started getting congratulations for our new baby... which happened to be just a cute little kidney stone :-)\" class=\"wp-image-3813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-2.jpeg 961w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-2-300x198.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-2-768x506.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 961px) 100vw, 961px\" \/><figcaption>Our Facebook prank with this picture was too succesful, as we started getting congratulations for our new baby&#8230; which happened to be just a cute little kidney stone \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>SPOILER ALERT: The antibiotic didn\u2019t help,\nthe pain stayed on and off until we got home in March.

Even though we had also had our difficulties with\nveggie food, at first, latest in Mandalay this presumption proved to be\ncomplete nonsense. As most of the time when we travel, also in Mandalay our favorite\nactivity was to snack around, tasting all kinds of new, exciting flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We finally found the word we had been\nlooking for the last days. If you want vegetarian food in Myanmar, say: Ta Ta\nL\u00f3, and you will most probably get it (at least in the areas where Burmese is\nspoken).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mogok Daw Shan<\/strong> was a basic street food restaurant, just the way we like them. They had an English menu, which made our life easier trying to find vegetarian food. Here we tried Shan Noodles for the first time, a super delicious noodle bowl coming from the Shan State of Myanmar. We had other stuff too, like dumplings and fried chickpea tofu (another yummy Burmese veggie-speciality).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"3376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170882.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170882.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170882-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170882-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170882-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><figcaption>The huge portion of dumplings at Mogok Daw Shan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marie Min<\/strong> was the only fully vegetarian restaurant in Mandalay that we tried, and this one we can really recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170464-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Curry, egglant and salad at Marie Min's\" class=\"wp-image-3844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170464-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170464-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170464-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170464.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Curry, eggplant and salad at Marie Min&#8217;s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the nicest culinary surprises we found on a little side street. The big streets of Mandalay are really busy and not very pedestrian friendly. Stepping to the smaller side streets can sometimes be like venturing to a whole new world, or to some smaller village. All of a sudden, it\u2019s peaceful and the locals greet you almost like they had never seen a tourist before. During one of our side-street ventures we stumbled upon a little crepe stand. The vegan crepes made out of coconut milk and rice flour, topped with herbs, chili and chickpeas were amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170453-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The wonderful crepe stand\" class=\"wp-image-3842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170453-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170453-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170453-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170453.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The wonderful crepe stand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170450-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"And the masterpiece ready to be eaten\" class=\"wp-image-3841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170450-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170450-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170450-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/P1170450.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>And the masterpiece ready to be eaten<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47.jpeg\" alt=\"Another simple but delicious dish we got to taste on the hotel breakfast: fried noodles with mustard oil, which gives the dish a very distinct flavour\" class=\"wp-image-3817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-195x300.jpeg 195w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-768x1183.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-12-at-13.48.47-665x1024.jpeg 665w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Another simple but delicious dish we got to taste on the hotel breakfast: fried noodles with mustard oil, which gives the dish a very distinct flavour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mandalay\u2019s markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We also did some culinary discoveries while\nvisiting Mandalay\u2019s markets.

Because of some schedule confusions with the motorbike so we changed the plan a bit. Therefore, we did a two-night trip from Mandalay to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/2020\/10\/06\/bagan-pagodas-sunrise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"the

riding from Mandalay to Yangon on a Royal Enfield.\nStay tuned for stories about curvy mountain roads, amazing views, tons of\nroadside pagodas, endless construction sites, flat tires, minor accidents
