    Decided to do the guided tour on our second day in Yangon. The building is being refurbished and there isn't a large amount of things to see. However it was interesting and a good way to get a brief summary of the history since colonial times.

    This building was so well built that it still looks very impressive after so many years and will probably last forever. The architecture is worthy of admiration.

    The Central Telegraphic Office is a little distance from the Maha Bandula Park. It is an impressive British Colonial building and reminds you of the days of the British Raj, There isn't too much activity inside. The interiors are still cool because of the high ceiling, and old electric fans.They have preserved some old telegraph and telefax machines ( a whole generation has grown up without seeing these, but it is nostalgic to people of my times) and there is a bright red Post Box taking us to the times of "snail-mail"

    According to the Yangon City Heritage list Customs House was built in 1915. John Begg from Scottland, responsible for the design of so many other British colonial buildings was the architect.

    A rather impressive red brick building with a short tower above its grand entrance.at the Strand. Column forms are used for a decorative purpose. Note the two-faced bracketed clock. Customs are still using the building, perhaps because of its ideal location close to the port.

    All Myanmar seaports are managed by the Myanmar Ports Authority (MPA), which is managed by the Ministry of Transport. One of the most secure buildings on the list since colonial times. Many of these houses were built by colonialists with government offices. It is difficult to comprehend why some are so well cared for while others are damaged. Well-planned and well-maintained operations can save buildings that need to be restored for future generations to be saved.

    It is quite difficult to imagine the past opulence of this stately building. The former Yangon Division Court is now a ruin with little care or attention given. Urgent repair work needed.

    Worth popping your head inside, to see what's left of a fine colonial building - the windows, roof, counters etc. There's also a collection of old equipment - telegraph, telex, etc and an old postbox.
