    Almost every burmese would have lived in a monastery in their life time: by sierra-hope, Views[289]

         		 Mandalay, a long walk from the village out: by sierra-hope, Views[283]
         		 We stop in what appears to be the middle of nowhere. Ticket inspector Htin Kyow tells me that we will depart again in “one hour”. I wander away from the platform, only to be suddenly grabbed by the arm; a man points to our train slowly rolling out of the station. Bolting across the tracks and jumping aboard, I spot Htin Kyow laughing whilst clipping tickets. He taps on his watch: “One hour!”. The dial shows exactly 1pm.: by annemoff, Views[565]
     
    Bright blue and green paintwork snakes around the tracks, cracked from use and weather. If the train is moving slow enough to disembark between stations, passengers throw bags and packages from doors and leap from carriages before fading into the distance. The best way to gauge the cause of an unexpected stoppage is to stick your head out the window.: by annemoff, Views[553]
         		 The carriages are filled with vendors peddling their wares: bananas, newspapers, tobacco, smoked fish, chicken and quail eggs, lurid melting icy poles in clouded plastic bags. As the train approaches each station, more traders run along the platform. Before the train has stopped they mount the steps with dexterity and begin singing and shouting at anyone who will listen.: by annemoff, Views[605]
         		 The Yangon Circular Railway takes three hours to loop around the city. It’s a muggy 30-degree day when I purchase my ticket, and an attendant excitedly tells me that the carriages are “air-conditioned”. I find out later that this is in the form of open windows and spluttering, tired roof fans that do nothing more than add to the cacophony. A policeman half-heartedly taps one of the fans with his baton each time it drifts to a halt.: by annemoff, Views[607]
         		 Pre-dawn at Yangon Central Station, the air is still cool and fresh. Bodies lurk on the platforms each morning, waiting for the first train to depart at 6:10am. Services run both clockwise and anticlockwise roughly once every hour, with the last at 5:10pm.: by annemoff, Views[766]
         		 A visit to a monastery can give you an opportunity to see how monks live their daily life, which consists heavily of eat, study and pray. But linger a little longer, and you may be lucky to catch a glimpse of their playful antics as well… monks may be monks… but boys will always be boys! : by georgemac, Views[248]

         		 The rainy season is known for its heavy downpours, but not enough to perturb these two women from getting to their destination with their groceries.: by georgemac, Views[279]
         		 Train stations along the circle line of Yangon are key to the community, both for business, and socially. Locals at every station can be seen selling goods, on, near and between the train tracks.: by georgemac, Views[341]
         		 Travelling on the local slow train around Yangon is a great chance to mingle with the locals. The genuine smiles and interactions with all Myanmar people warms my heart.: by georgemac, Views[298]
