One of the most interesting and worth while side - trip out of Yangon is to Bago and Kyaiktyio, north east of Yangon. Once a splendid city and important seaport, it was the capital of the Mon Kingdom from 1365 AD. and became the capital of King Tabinshwetis Second Myanmar Empire in 1541, retaining her glory and prominence till 1635 when the capital of the Second Myanmar Empire was moved to Innwa (Ava), near Mandalay, by King Thalun.
Lying on the east bank of the Bago River, the capital of Bago Division is a road and railway junction with routes leading to Mandalay and Pyay, Moattama (Martaban) to Mawlamyine. It also serves as a collecting center for paddy, bamboo and timber logs.
Famous for its cheroot industry, Bago makes many brands of this typically Myanmar smokers product, with salt, dried fish and a variety of handicrafts being available also.

Forget the bitter past and love all. Life is Short. Let us live peacefully. So peaceful were the Japanese after the World-War - they had very bad eperience of their bombings on innocent civilians of several countries including myanmar- they got it back in Hiroshima... the spell continues by way of quake on 11th March 2011.

We could only feel sorry..we loved the Japanese for the cheaper technology they gave the world..now the chinese..

So love all including your brother
