Yangon (Burma) - On the wrong track
On the tracks of Yangon's train station, an old woman picks up the trash dropped on the tracks by the last travelers - Yangon (Burma)
___________________________________________________________________
8 p.m., and Yangon is plunged in darkness. Most of the electricity that used to power the city has been diverted to Naypyidaw, the new capital built from scratch by the Junta. While the cozy parks and gleaming mall of the ville nouvelle enjoy uninterrupted power, Yangon crumbles. Shunned by public investment, the old capital is littered by the hollow shells of abandoned government buildings, condemned to ineluctable dereliction.
