Yangon Travel Blogs

At 7 AM, all of us were already up and ready to go to the airport. By 7:30 AM, we were already at the airport. By 8:00 AM, we were already got our plane seats confirmed. By 8:30 AM, we were already relieved to pass the immigration gate.. until we realized we had no breakfast. Also, thinking tha…

Shootz from the land that will change you inside. The people and their culture.

In preparation of our long flight today we sleep late, we get up at 7.30 a.m. and take our time for breakfast. To end our holiday in style Trudy has caught another case of the runs this morning, but fortunately she doesn’t really feel sick. The warm breakfast buffet of the Panorama Hotel has soun…

I am yet to complete my blog entry for my trip on Myanmar, but i decided to write this small entry/plea  already.I landed on Yangon,Myanmar and was put on awe with its beauty,the land is rich in culture and the burmese people are one of the warmest people i ever met.This week i left Yangon in …

monday, 7am: we packed up early and went with our travel agent. it was the same scene as yesterday. only this time, there were more people. tourists, locals, they were all around. the airlines were open! woohoo!!the only problem was, our supposedly 10am flight delayed (again!) for three hours.…

People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Julia (Russia) After jumping on the local bus from the long distance bus staion to Sule Paya, the first thing i saw when looking out of the window was a man having sex with the hood of a car. I wasn't quite sure i'd seen correct, so turne…

I'd a chance to visit Yangon 1 week before bomb blasts happened in Rangoon(April, 2005)so I'm feeling very sad that this teriible situation should happen to the burmese people who're very nice and friendly >__< Before my trip, everybody warns me not to go to Myanmar as it's kind of not safe to visit but after 4 days in Yangon. I've learned the contrary. I've only met nice people there.Hope to come back to travel in Burma again :)

We slapen uit vandaag, de wekker loopt pas om 08:00 af. Trudy is vannacht als afsluiting van de vakantie aan de diaree geraakt, maar is er gelukkig niet echt ziek van. Het warme ontbijtbuffet van het Panorama hotel, heeft een paar weken lang er aantrekkelijk geklonken, maar vandaag hebben we er all…

      It’s difficult not to be political about Myanmar.  Not when the whole time I was there, I can’t access the internet nor avail of international publications (except for the Singapore Straits Times. which I’m sorry to say isn’t really my idea of in-depth rep…

After taking the whole of 26 Oct travelling back to Yangon and seeing all the Pagodas and Buddhas i can take for the week, I've decided to go to a small town across the Yangon river to see other things. I paid USD1 for a 20min ferry ride across the man-made carnal... the water is as chaotic as …

Me. My backpack. A 1 way ticket. 3.5 months. No real plan. Malaysia, Nepal, India, Tibet, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Burma. Amazing. (Dates are all messed up, I'll sort this out later - and some actual blogging will eventually appear!)

Retour à Yangon, mais cette fois-ci, je ne sors même pas de l’aéroport.  Changement de billet d’avion pour revenir plus tôt à Bangkok!      

After almost 20 years, it was good to be back to see Yangon again (28-30 Jul 2008). The place has changed quite abit, testimony to the investments that have been poured in by countries in the region. The infrastructure has been upgraded, more cars on the road and a large number of new buildings hav…

Min Min and Min Ko picked us up at the hotel after breakfast for a final little tour of some additional sites in Yangon before they dropped us off at the airport.  We climbed into our trusty, dilapidated Hyundai one last time and went off to see some famous White Elephants (sorry no pix, appar…
