I have been working in Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar, since 2012. Currently, I am finishing up my book on the social and political dynamics of heritage-making there as well as in Myanmar at large.
I miss Yangon all the time. The pandemic hit hard, the coup attempt hit harder still.
Here are some pictures that maybe help you grasp what opportunities lay before Yangon and what a potential was taken from so many people.
