Mandalay Travel Guide – Getting around

Bamarlay — Fri, 08 May 2009 10:20:15 +0000

Mandalay is a big city. It is the second largest city in Myanmar with nearly one million populations (there is no reliable government data on the exact population).

Yangon (Rangoon) International Airport

Bamarlay — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 09:40:22 +0000

I still remember the first time I brought my girlfriend to Burma. As soon as she saw the Rangoon International Airport, she suddenly exclaimed “Oh, it is a temple in the airport”. It makes the Burmese passengers sitting in front of our seat into uncontrollable laughter.

Well, she was partly right. The Yangoon International Airport is a strange airport building.… Read [...]

Introduction

Like most other countries in the world, road transportation is the most important communication in Myanmar. Most towns and cities are accessible only by land route.

Mandalay – Myitkyina Train Trip – 4

Thet Naing — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:04:32 +0000

On the way at one station near Shwebo, one man climbed up through the window beside my friend. My friend pushed him back, telling not to climb. He kept on climbing, pushing my friend back. Once he was inside the carriage, he scolded at my friend yelling he could be arrested for breaking the law. I looked at him and… Read [...]

Mandalay – Myitkyina Train Trip – 3

Thet Naing — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 11:38:25 +0000

For you Grandpa, you always traveled by plane, or by luxury cars, so you would not know about these. That is why I was thinking of you all the time. You have never experienced such kind of things, so you would not know what we, your grandchildren, had to experience. You have a very fortunate life. Grandpa is so rich… Read [...]

Mandalay – Myitkyina Train Trip – 2

The ticket that the station manager said “Gone” is still available from the black market! Isn’t it surprising? However, you had to pay two times the actual price. I was really angry. Well, what could I do? Too bad for us, as we, grandchildren of Grandpa, got only ordinary class tickets. I used to travel this train trip in the… Read [...]
