Myanmar - New Capital

Naypyidaw - the new capital of Burma (Myanmar) in the central part of the country. There are only governmental buildings and houses for the oficials. Some of them are still under construction. I've made the footage in one such an apartment of a middle-level official. The house looked rather ascetical, similar to North Korea. But the people of Myanmar is very patient and make a very good impression.

Its like Brazil. They have a former capital in Rio de Janeiro but they changed to the interior of Goias in the middle of nothing and they created Brasilia.

Definitely. I've been to Brasilia a couple of years ago, it's true. Very similar, but also similar to Pyongyang, NKorea.

[ivanzakharchenko]

Just a new name.

[ivanzakharchenko]

No, the government is just getting a safer place.

They moved the capital because that wack job Than Shwe's astrologer told him to.

So Pyongyang was planned capital. That sounds good i dont knew that.

I doesnt know why Myanmar moved, but in the Brazil the corrupt politicians moved to avoid popular pressure.

And i liked that new capital, this Buildings in Myanmar are very Beautiful. Interesting architecture.
