My mom was born in 1959 in Yangon. Good to see how Yangon looked at that time. I grew up there too and left the country 13 years ago. Myanmar is always a unique place after seeing the world. I am glad that I grew up there even though it was under military dictatorship. Thank you for the video

I left Burma when I was sixteen, I went back for a visit a few years ago forty four years later,Rangoon didn’t change much except a few taller building. But I love Burmese food which is my favourite. I would go again when I have an opportunity.

Brilliant. I went to Rangoon (now Yangon) in June of this year 2016 and was amazed at the old British Colonial buildings there, as well as the shwedagon and Sule Pagodas and other Pagodas too. Also, the sleeping Buddha all made for a wonderful visit there looking at living history all around me. I hope to return very soon and the people too are amazing.

A real gem.
