If you're in the mood to see something other than a pile of bricks for a change, then you might take in the morning fresh market in Nyaung Ou. If you're not familiar with the wide variety of fruits and vegetables available in Southeast Asia, a stroll through the market can be an eye-opening experience.

You'll find eggplants (aubergines) in an amazing variety of sizes and colors, as well as gourds, tomatoes, chilies and many kinds of herbs. Then there's the many kinds of bananas, coconuts and other fruits.
