Aung Chan Tha Zedi or the Shiny Pagoda,
Kalaw
 Yesterday afternoon we arrived in
Kalaw and walked to our digs. We passed a really, really glittery pagoda that was too much for my poor, cracking
head. After the day, journey and our joint sad mood we couldn’t do this uniquely
bright building any justice. Today on our town bimble we felt we should make the
effort to give it its own blog.
 Today, the sun was bright and the whole building shimmered.
   I can find no information as to when
the pagoda was built. The rooster (symbol of
attachment and the desire) looks as if someone has given him a Christmas bauble,
he is just as shiny even in the shade. The side wall
reflected like a huge mirror. Up close it’s incredible to see each and every tiny piece of mirror.
   The left side of
the building was in full sun and even without a headache it hurt to look
at and caused arc eye. Time to go inside.
    The four Buddha
images.
 The inside walls were painted but the
pillars and alcoves were pieces of mirror surrounded by deep
blue paint.
  Even in black and
white.........A quick look at the umbrella and
time to move on.
ALL IN ALL THE MOST SPARKLY
BUILDING I HAVE EVER SEEN
VERY EYE WATERINGLY BRIGHT AND CLEAN
