I was born 75 years ago in Yangon downtown, Theravada Buddhist country, Myanmar. I have only fond memory, happiness without bitterness about my early life in the city. I was born, raised, and educated at the University of Rangoon in this beautiful country where all colors of race, religion, and social status lived together peacefully for many decades. The people of Myanmar are poor but generous, kind, and welcome visitors from faraway lands. I am proud and grateful to learn the Myanmar language which opens my eyes to Dhamma. Kyea Zuu Ah Htoo Tin Par Tae, Ah Meet Myanmar Pyay Gyi Khin Byar. Thank you, Myanmar with all of my heart.
what to do - british immigrate back home to britain - so must indians to india - burma is burmse not british or indian's - there are lots of part burmese who miss burma too but ... sad
I was born in Paungdale in Prome district. I had my elementary education in ABM school Prome on the bank of Irrawaddy river. I came to India in 1964 and am in Chennai. I want to visit Myanmar when normalcy restored. I am now 74 years old. What a beautiful country Burma was.
too bad - burma is burmese n not british or indian don't u think india is beautiful? it's british fault - they mix n spread races n religions n so created many heartaches n they drew borders so neighbors fight - mother uk n son usa colonies n bases circle earth kill loot/war nonstop - american politicians n weapon industry ceos war crime americans n world - we want to spend our money on ourselves n our lives to live happily - these people must be charge n their wealth nationalize n if they are dead just nationalize their money given to whoever
This Building is between 39th Street and 40th Street on the southern side of Merchant Street. Situated next to the Armenian Church. It is directly opposite 502 Merchant St. once known as Magnet House, which was the Head Office and Workshops (at rear) of The General Electric Company of Burma Ltd. I served my Electrical Engineering Apprenticeship at GEC Burma Ltd in 1958/59. I am now residing in Perth, Western Australia since 1970. I left Burma in 1966 for London UK. I am of the knowledge this Yellow Building was once the Office of the Tax Collector of the Burmese Kingdom and operated by Armenians on behalf of King Mindon. In appreciation, Land was granted for the Armenian Church to the Armenians, by the Burmese King. To the rear of this building were the Auto-workshops of East Asiatic run by BBTCL. I lived at 108 Sparks (Bo Aung Gyaw) St with grandparents who live there for over 60 years.
Its around the corner from Little Yangon Hostel where I stayed in April 2016 and will stay again in a few weeks: th-cam.com/video/ONY8mM64jLw/w-d-xo.html picture at the 3:53 mark.... They must have just finished remodeling it as I think I also took a picture of it when I visited in Feb 2014 and walked down that street: th-cam.com/video/Zp0yYqHUecs/w-d-xo.html&list=PL-V-VVI3NIq9X4uqOnDjqX21tzW36YYwy&index=20 at the 20:38 mark
My Father and his family of 14 (siblings and parents) came to India on 1965(he was 10 year old) and settled here in Chennai, india. I love to go burma atleast once.
I want my government to maintain or even learn the technology from this architecture. as a person who loves old building and history, it's hurt me to see my government don't gives a single f about historical building 😔
