Myanmar

The country side

The buddhist temple in the center of the city near where we stayed. Supposedly 2000 years old with reconstruction of course.

A mosque beside the temple downtown just opposite is Emmanuel Baptist Church.

Largest Pagota in the world (until recently according to google) measuring at 326 ft. high.

Supposedly the plot of land where Adoniram Judson lived and gathered for worship.

Arnold many decades ago at a bookstore on the side of the road.

My view from our hotel room.

Being in Myanmar (Burma) felt like we had been teleported 30 to 50 years back in time. There were many buses that were from the World War II era and most of the buildings were very old. While this country suffers greatly from poverty, it is a safe place for foreigners. Lonely planet said that Yangon is the most unlikely city for you to be robbed in South Asia, however you are more likely to trip on the bumpy sidewalks or fall into the sewer while walking around.
