Myanmar (Burma) — Exploring the streets near the Hotel Mandalay, Mandalay, Myanmar (Burma) — Random Vehicles and Houses

Time for some more street photography

March 2015

One thing I always enjoy is wandering around a new town or city, exploring.

You are familiar with your “home town” sights and sounds. But in a new place, everything is, well, new. A new town or city is an excellent opportunity to experience everyday life with a fresh set of eyes.

One thing that amazed me about Mandalay was the number of different types of vehicles on the roads. The townsfolk were inventive in finding ways to move themselves and goods around the streets.

Mandalay also had a range of building styles. Yes, there were large purpose-built shopping centres and blocks, but things changed when you got off the main roads and into the side streets.

Below is a small selection of some great vehicles and houses I saw in Mandalay.

There was a real mix of houses and shops in the streets around Hotel Mandalay.

I had a great time just wandering the local streets and exploring the town.
