Wonderful images of my favourite city, first visited in 1982. Fascinating to see very rare moving images of the Rangoon Traamways which were being replaced by trolleybuses from about 1936 until the Japanese destroyed both systems during WW2. It is good to see such clean, industrious and orderly streets in what was then the richest country in South East Asia. It is tragic the way Burma disintegrated after independence and has still not fully recovered after decades of inefficient military rule.
Thanks for posting this! I fell in love with Southeast Asia the first time I traveled there, back in 1991. Went back many times. I'd love to see more videos on it, but they don't always get the most views. Thailand is popular though, and there are a lot of old B&W videos of it.
Nass, Great video. If this is 1930's Burma, it's pretty hot! So, I have to wear my white pith helmet, white double-breasted suit, and black and white spectator shoes on my feet walking through this. Like they always did here in Burma in the old movies. LOL. Thanks for the upload.! 😊❤❤
My favorite city, also. I was just there in November 2024. Not much has changed since 1995 when I first visited, save for the Internet and the execrable mobile phone use. Admittedly , the Yangon- Mandalay road is infinitely better. Yangon is a fascinating place and as a bonus, motorcycles are prohibited. That’s the irony of it. If the military hadn’t been in power and prevented development Burma, aka Myanmar, would most likely be another globalized place like Thailand where the saying is, no money, no smile. The Burmese are wonderful.
England my England, Lord Mountbatten was viceroy of India in February 1947 till Indias independence in 1948. Lord Mountbatten became Viscount Mountbatten of Burma in 1946. So, a few years later.
@@JazzFunkNobby1964 excuse me. I just mentioned England because it's the person moniker I was talking to named- (England my England.) I corrected it now what I meant to say.
Contemporary documents from a time without internet or cell phones. Which, even at that time, you rarely saw in other countries - unless you were on vacation, taking photographs or could afford a camera. And - back then you went to see your friends and did something (no cell phone).

Footage looks really great for the 30s.
Looked better than nowadays
That's bc the CIA hadn't gotten to it yet
@@kylesanders8276 That's because of independence destroyed it.
Burma (Myanmar) has been in a state of conflict since 1948
George Orwell served in Burma from 1927 to 1930. Amazing footage. Closest we have to travel in time pretty much.
Rest in peace Sir Michael Rogge.
Thanks Nass for the news. I am following him for a long time. Its sad he is no more.😢
I absolutely loved this video. It looks so much better than today. Loved seeing the old colonial buildings and saw the Strand Hotel, Sule pagoda.

I remember this from Michael Rogge channel (RIP), there are many older videos that needs to get restored and colorized from his channel.
Great video super NASS big support from Croatia
Thx bro!
You do a nice job on the sound!

A joy too watch as always Nass 👍
great stuff as usual.
Thanks for sharing
Back in the day, Brown & Polson's Coffee and Butter were quite the thing.
I would never be truly comfortable as a passenger on a rickshaw
Single use packaging has trashed up everywhere
It always seems strange and sad to me to watch a clear video of the past when everyone in it is probably dead now 😢.
Amazing film and country. So much was wasted and destroyed by decades of dictatorship.

Would this have been during the british raj as Lord Earl mountbatten was the 1st Duke of Burma

You haven't lived till you've tried the crab from Old Rangoon.
👍👍❤❤
It is kind of odd knowing none of the people in this video is alive anymore.

Yangon is less developed now.

It has. It has regressed into decrepitude.
