Yangon [Myanmar]

Travel in Myanmar makes me deeply consider why only this country doesn't open visa-free to SE Asia tourist. But I changed my mind after I met an Australian in Thailand that she told me Bagan is so amazing. Since LP also highly recommended about Bagan is one of the best architectural wonders in SE Asia so I have to explore there...

Yangon is a former capital of Myanmar and the most important commercial centre.


Although it's a largest city but the environment here seems brought me back to 70's!!

        
Shwedagon Paya is the defining image of Yangon and a symbol of Burmese identity.

Had a very bad experienced in this city as some Indians cheat my money when I exchanged US dollar to Myanmar kyats and lost my lovely camera at the same day. Also, Myanmar has no ATMs and credit card servive so it's really makes me felt mad about money issue... Lucky I'm not newbie backpacker so the next day I could solved the problem as soon as possible!!

Although I had this unhappy memories but doesn't affect me to dislike this country. The resident here is kindly and knew how to enjoy their life even though they're very poor and oppressive by military government as well...
