yangon / myanmar (rangoon / burma)

our next stop after singapore was yangon, the biggest city of myanmar, former known as rangoon and burma.

• myanmar, the golden land, which we would probably call the land of the everywhere lying waste today
• yangon? well, it is a 5 million souls metropole where all maynmar's nations & religions co-exist close to each other, i would say peacefully co-exist...
• there are many, many huge rivers in yangon, just see the picture where 3 of them merge together
• my most interesting experience? the trash hero myanmar action: cleaning of the botataung jetty => thank you folks for making the planet a better place :-)

and yes, don't miss our next stop bagan.

... yangon/myanmar ... more coming soon or never ...

 the yangon river is not the biggest one in yangon, if you asked me :-)
