I do remember seeing this on the main east-west avenue in downtown Yangon! In 10 years’ time I imagine the city will look (and feel) increasingly like Bangkok. KFC is by no means the worst option in this case – Outback Steakhouse would have been even more jarring. 😉
Ha, not too long before Outback Steakhouse finds its way to Bagan even! Isn’t it sad how all South Asian cities end up being homogenous clones? Bangalore is a case in point. It’s lost almost all its original character.
it kind of defines Myanmar’s struggle this days 😦
Visually, it’s a lot to take in. To me it says clash.
Your photo says it all…. what the world is coming to.
This is an amazing photo post which truly reflects the travellers experience and entices others to explore this place, truly a thrilling post.
Delighted you think so! Appreciate your visit and comment.

This contrast is a very good take on the challenge, Madhu!
Happy travels to you, too!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
