My mom was born in 1959 in Yangon. Good to see how Yangon looked at that time. I grew up there too and left the country 13 years ago. Myanmar is always a unique place after seeing the world. I am glad that I grew up there even though it was under military dictatorship. Thank you for the video

Brilliant. I went to Rangoon (now Yangon) in June of this year 2016 and was amazed at the old British Colonial buildings there, as well as the shwedagon and Sule Pagodas and other Pagodas too. Also, the sleeping Buddha all made for a wonderful visit there looking at living history all around me. I hope to return very soon and the people too are amazing.

Clearly, you haven’t been there recently or in the past 10 years. I been back every other year and almost unrecognisable certain places. Admittedly it’s not exactly Thailand or Singapore but given how it has been historically when it comes to tourism and sanctions wise, I think it has comes alone way. At the same time I don’t want Myanmar to loose it’s culture or heritage like some Countries such as Thailand.

+MichaelRogge Well, thankfully you didn't! This particular film is so surreal; the crisp, vivid colors give life to the serenity of the people, the beauty of the architecture, the contrast between the toothless grin of the old lady shoveling rice into her mouth at 2:33 and the sweet smile of the young girl at 3:42. A real gem.

It would be interesting to get some more information on origin (if it is not your own), media (double 8, super 8, or 16 mm as I guess in this case?), edits you may have done (when and what, like adding speaker and background music) and so on. The more facts the better!
