Yangon

I have been here for 2 days. The internet connection is very dodgy and when I get to Yunan I will put a longer post.

Some impressions in no particular order :

Old crumbling colonial buildings, overgrown with vegetation or cyclone damaged
Intermittent , variable power supply
Opulent restored old hotel we are staying in
Extremely hazardous footpaths
Very friendly people
Schwedagon pagoda - peaceful huge complex of buildings around the central stupa . many people walking around quietly
People cooking on crumbling footpaths

Very humid
People on trip friendly
