Yangon is the bustling capital of Myanmar, with colonial buildings, chaotic streets, full of life, temples, parks, with busy places but also quiet ones.
Yangon, or Rangoon as it was known for a long time, is the capital of Myanmar (until the military dictatorship finally moves it up north, in the central region south of Mandalay, where most former capitals have been until the British colonized the country). This is the place where most visitors arrive, and it has enough charm to keep you in longer than you planned. Apart from the major sights, motably Shwedagon Paya, Yangon has more to offer for the visitor. One of the things I liked most, were the narrow streets in the old city centre, with those typical buildings from the British era. The streets are so narrow, the sun never gets to some parts. Laundry hanging out of windows, people going on on their daily routine, small shops, trishaws taking passengers from one end to the other - they are not allowed in the main streets full of cars.
