Authentic Street Photography in Yangon, Myanmar (Burma)

Should you skip Yangon in your Myanmar itinerary? According to how much we loved exploring this city by foot, you should absolutely stay a while. Yangon is one of the best ways to see local Burmese culture on the streets and in the markets, just by observing how locals live and how cultures mix in every neighborhood.
