Architectural Legacy of Colonial Rangoon (Yangon)

Features pictures taken during a brief visit in November 2015. The book: '30 Heritage Buildings of Yangon: Inside the City That Captured Time' is a good starting point, but there is plenty more to look at than the buildings singled out by the authors. The Balthazar Building, for example, has been featured by a number of journalists, and is every bit as derelict and creepy as I expected. In any other part of the world, this building would have been demolished long ago, but it still provides a rudimentary home for a number of families and small businesses.
The change of government will hopefully bring lots of foreign investment into Myanmar, but the fear is that this process will accelerate the bulldozing of countless heritage buildings in order to provide modern homes and offices for these deserving people. I suspect that in 20 years time, apart from the cathedrals and a few iconic civic buildings, only a small proportion of the total seen in this video will still be standing.
PS - this is not an attempt to show all the sights of Yangon - there are no pagodas, for example, these being adequately covered by other film makers.
