Touring around Yangon
I headed straight for the top level, which provides the best views of life in the river, as well as the sunset. Ii ordered some food and a drink, then settled back and enjoyed the river breeze on my face. Ah, fresh air! On one side of the river, colonial buildings, modern high-rises
and golden pagodas emerging from the lush greenery, while the opposite bank was even more green, with small docks and village houses hidden among the palm trees and other vegetation.
