What to do in the hot sun in Yangon?

This equatorial sun is fierce!  We walk from shady spot to shady spot -- I have been using my parasol (UV umbrella) from Japan to give me portable shade.  They report 3 seasons here -- hot, hotter, and rainy.  We are at the transition between hot and hotter now, though it is hard to imagine it getting much hotter.

So by 3:30 we are quite wilted.  This has given great opportunities for people watching at the Buddhist pagodas.  Each of our 3 days of independent sightseeing has lead us to a different pagoda.  They offer shade and a place to sit.  Today we were at a pagoda with a huge reclining Buddha.  We sat on the carpets and watched the monks and regular folks praying and visiting.  Buddha had pretty dilated pupils -- Will suggested Buddah was meditating in the dark -- I though nirvana might be like drugs in dilating pupils.  I chose not to purchase the guide to the 108 symbols on Buddha's feet -- but did make a small contribution in the box labeled for the support of the electric bill.
