Ginius Loci of Myanmar
The smart idea of Myanmar the picture was taken during the trip 2 years ago. I couldn't believe that the weather is hotter than Bangkok...So hot that around noon we couldn't walk! So normally we have breakfast, go to a few places after that, Lunch, and go for a nap, woke up around 3-4 in the afternoon to traveling more places.....
The city was like traveling back to the past ..which is good is a sense but comparing with Luang Prabang, I prefer Luang Prabang to Myanmar. But anyway since majority of people are poor the best material for construction is bamboo which can be easily found anywhere for houses, medium rise building or even for reparing pagoda.
Bamboo also used for construction propose. The modern look building with the use of local bamboo structure for safety protection. This picture took from a bus during trip in Rangoon. It remind me of the new architecture that springs up around the world these days applying the local idea to the global level.
The golden tip of pagoda was stolen days before we were there. The bamboo structure was constructed for renovation and protection aspects. Looking at this situation from different angle, if the golden tip were not be stolen I wouldn't had chance to see this genius bamboo structure. Anyway stealing is not good
This natural shading is so cool. Love at first sight!
