Yangon, Myanamar: Shopping, Temples, and Kind People

Architectural Remnants from the colonial period

The people of Myanmar who still seem to be referred to as as Burmese, even though the name of the country is Myanmar or Burma, depending on whom you ask, are kind and hospitable.

I ended up in Burma (my preferred name for the country because I am too lazy to program myself to call it Myanmar) to visit my father who has been living there for a lump some of my life.

I wasn't planning to end up being in Burma for a week, but I also wasn't planning to stop planning and wing things as much as I have in the time since I returned from Madagascar. I have no clue what will happen next week, or where I will end up, but I'm open to it all..
