day 15: comfortable stay makes it difficult to leave

Among the four guest houses we have stayed, my favourite is White House in Yangon.

Here are top reasons why you should check White House out if you are in Yangon:

The boss Mr Myint Maung (pictured above) and his son are always at the front desk when you need information and travel tips.

Mr Myint Maung's elder brother runs a mean kitchen which serves complimentary breakfast. A little exaggeration to be "Best in the World", but the breakfast definitely has the best spread in Myanmar for US$22 a night! You get fresh fruit, fried noodles or rice, vegetables and eggs, sometimes tasty prawn fritters, and the amazing banana toast!

The marbled-wall room remains cool in the hottest days. If you are a penguin, you'll be happy to know that the air-con works all the time. We stayed in Room 602 and 502 - everything works the way it should. We didn't get the best view, but I'm happy with the big windows and lots of natural light!

One thing I cannot live without - hot water. And they have it as hot as I want, anytime I want. 

Roof-top garden where you can get some morning tan or hang out in the evening with friends over beer. 

The entrance is easy to spot - just find the door with plants all around it. Located on Kon Zay Dan Street, it is right in the centre of town and within walking distance to wherever we wanted to go. November Internet Cafe is just a few doors down, a small provision shop nearby has water and snacks, and we had no problems getting taxis right in front most of the time. 

And you can find wise words within its walls.
