21. Road trip in Myanmar / Podróż samochodem przez Myanmar

 Naypyitaw - capital city of Myanmar, knwon as 'Ghost City', because nobody wants to live here. There are many hotels and they all are empty. It's a place for government meetings. This highway has got 18 lanes! / Naypyitaw - stolica Myanmar'u, znana ròwnież jako ' Miasto Duchòw' ponieważ nikt nie chce tu zamieszkać. Jest tu mnóstwo pustych hoteli. Rząd jedynie zbiera się tu na narady. Ta autostrada ma łacznie 18 pasòw.

Over the period of 10 days that we spent in Myanmar we have travelled more than 1800 km. You have seen major cities and towns already and this time we would like to share with you things and people we had seen and met on the way.

20. Yangon, Myanmar ( Burma, Birma )

 Trains get really busy with people travelling to street markets in hope of selling their goods. / Pociągi zapełniają się ludźmi udającymi się na uliczne markety by sprzedać to i owo.

Yangon was previously the capital city of Myanmar. Nearly 10% of the country's population live here ( 65 milion people in Myanmar). So the city feels over populated.
Motorbikes are not allowed near the city centre, only bicycles but it's way too dangerous to ride one of those.  Traffic jam gets really bad in here, you are guaranteed to be stuck in one of them for some time. So to explore we walked ( in  temperatures reaching 35C! ) and took a train journey around the city. Well, nearly around city.
