Cooling down in Pyin Oo Lwin
Kandawgyi National Gardens is a 437-acre park with a 70-acre lake, forestland and flowers galore. The park was originally built in 1915-1916 by a British forestry official, Mr. Charles Alex Rogers.Although only 70 kilometres from Mandalay, Pyin Oo Lwin is worlds away climate-wise, a refreshing antidote to the hot, dusty and hectic streets of Myanmar’s last royal capital. In that distance, the road between the two towns climbs from 74 to 1050 metres above sea level, winding through pine forests and past mountain vistas. This change in elevation, and the accompanying drop in temperature, accounts for much of the difference.

From the snow-capped Himalayas in the north to the coral-fringed Mergui Archipelago in the south. Myanmar's 2000-km length crosses three distinct ecological regions within the vast Indo-Malay bio geographic realm: the Indian sub region along the Bangladesh and India borders; the Indochinese sub region in the north bordering Laos and China; and the Syndic sub region bordering peninsular Thailand. Together these regions produce what is quite likely the richest biodiversity in South-East Asia. Ecology & Environment

The man behind the portrait
MY first visit to the Bogyoke Aung San Museum was memorable, but not for all the right reasons. I had taken the opportunity to visit the museum on the one day of the year it opened - Martyrs' Day, July 19 - but in 2009 the reception was not exactly welcoming. The narrow Bogyoke Aung San Museum Road, which winds northward from Kandawgyi Lake toward Shwegonedaing Road, had been closed to traffic, so anyone wanting to pay tribute to the general had to file through a long cordon of police.
