Inspired by the amazing channel that is mumbaipaused, I had started my own Instagram account – myanmaronthego. It was quite simply this – Myanmar On The Go is a visual documentation of the country as seen from a taxi, bus or when on foot.
This is when I was in Yangon back in 2018/2019. I traveled around the city and other parts of Myanmar a fair bit and took a metric ton of photos with my phone. Some with my camera too, but the Instagram account was all phone photographs.
The Instagram account has been inactive since late 2019 and now shut. I wanted to give those photographs a new home and also share some new/old work from Myanmar in future posts.
This is part 2 of the series.

An educational Sunday. First visit was to the mausoleum of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last mogul emperor. 6 out of 10 people know of him and his place in Indian history because of William Dalrymple’s book “The Last Emperor”. For the rest of us, there’s always Wikipedia and the burden of memory.
My first visit to the Shwedagon Pagoda. Clearly a place that needs multiple visits during different times of the day. On an important side note – cap, sunscreen and an umbrella are absolutely essential when heading out in the city. Sun strokes are not sexy.
