Day 8 Kunming - Myanmar failure and boxed puppies

Today I tried for the second time to get a visa for Myanmar. I failed again. I wish I could blame this one on bureaucracy but I can't.....being slightly less than prepared was actually the culprit. I guess the information I had was old and the few directions I got from the guesthouse were not helpful. I ended up walking around questioning random Chinese people by pointing to a dot on a map....after an hour it became quite obvious this wasn't going to work.

So I grabbed some McDonalds for lunch and tried to find the bird and flower market...which really was just a road of people with puppies stuffed in boxes. So after failure number two I took off for the hostel and watched a nauseating number of movies. I guess I will try again in Hanoi, but I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't happen until the last minute, but I get points for trying, right?
