At 09.00, heritage walks start at YANGON CITY HALL, located at the heart of the colonial-era city. Nearby is the former Immigration Department. This building was designed in 1910 to be the country’s most upmarket department store, Rowe & Company. Proceed to the High Court, a 1911 brick building designed by the architect John Ransome. Continue walking down to PANSODAN STREET enjoying impressive colonial buildings and have a stop at HLA DAY, a non-profit social enterprise shop, offers quality contemporary and traditional handicrafts sourced from local producers often struggling to overcome disability, exclusion and poverty. You’ll find colorful women’s and kids’ clothing, soft toys, stationery, jewellery, home wares and more there. Continue to Strand Road, home to the three-storey former New Law Courts. Next stop is the 1916 Custom House, a large building with an elegant white tower and double-faced clock above the entrance.

Protests for democracy in Myanmar - Tens of thousands have turned out in street protests against last week's coup in Burma which overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi's democratically elected government in the South East Asian country also known as Burma - despite a recent ban on large gatherings and a night curfew.

Good Tour+Friendly Guides - Saw many of of historic colonial buildings and cathedral and received valuable insights into the customs and food along the way. Ohnmar and Thet Piang went out of their way to make it a special tour.
