Myanmar - Parting Shots

For our last half day in Myanmar was a bit anti-climactic as we did very little else besides shop for some last minute souvenirs, but we did spy a few interesting things along the way.

Here's a local "bus", for those whom the normal mode a transportation is too slow.  Hop on one of these and you speed to your next destination.  Just hang on tight if you should happen to get one of the outside seats.

This is a puppet used in some of the local shows.  This one is called a "nat", which is a sort of spirit.

We had lunch on the top floor of one of the taller buildings.  A nice view...

But look a bit closer and you'll see how run down the buildings are.  I suppose this is what happens when the government doesn't invest it's money for things that might benefit the regular people.

But stepping of my little soapbox for just a second, I will say that one thing they do have is great beer.

===============================

*Sigh*, goodbye Myanmar.  It's just one of those places that gets under your skin.  I know I say this for every place I visit, but I really hope to be back one day.  Soon.
