Yadana Hsimi Pagoda

The second stop on Inwa was Yadana Hsimi Pagoda, which is a ruin made of brick. Here, I fell for a scam. A souvenir seller waved US$10 at me and said she needed kyat. I asked how much kyat she needed and she said 14,000. It wasn't until after I left that I realized she made about 700 kyat (40 cents) off this transaction. While I don't begrudge the 40 cents, I do dislike the disingenuousness. Other souvenir sellers tried the same trick with me and quoted even more outrageous exchange rates.
