Sorry for the delay, I’m still struggling with the internet connections here in Myanmar. Now, back in Yangon, the internet connection is fast enough for me to post some images. The following images are from Mandalay. Mandalay is the modern center of Buddhism and Myanmar arts, but was once the old royal city. Mandalay, 670 km north of Yangon, is now the home of traditional artisans – including wood and stone carvers, silversmiths, weavers and those producing gold leaf. The former capitol, prior to British rule, and second largest city in the country, Mandalay takes its name from the nearby 240-meter Mandalay Hill, and is rich in monasteries and pagodas.
