 |
|
Here are some shots from Rangoon in February. I'll put some others up from elsewhere in the country later after I get them up on a site.
Rangoon Streets (taken through a metal screen so it's a little fuzzy)
Colonial Architecture near the Strand
Going Home from School - North of Rangoon
The rest are all of Shwedagon Paya

| Plenty of Indians there. Made for some good restaurant experiences. Burmese food was good but I love Indian cuisine. |

Hello S P
There are many Indians and Chinese in Myanmar...
Burmese food is not so spicy like Indains nor so sweet like Chinese...
I remembered, we went to see the Indain movie...
One of my college girlfriend, she is Yakhine ethnic but loves Indian movie...
Our whole group don't understand a word but watched the movie and cried.. |

| Do you get many viewers over there? Unfortunate that you can't link to them. |

Hi...
The first word is Tatmadaw...
Tatmadaw means arms forces...
The dictator is from the arms forces...
Mandalay Palace is the head quater for the Mandalay Division ( Army)...

Gotta say, great shots here !! The Bagan shot with the goats is a classic.
Got back from Myanmar in January myself, this brought it all back  |
