    1. Angela,I stayed at the Powerplant's quarters and i didn't notice any hotel around at that time.The road from Yangoon after crossing the Irrawaddy is real bad then,nothing much to see on the way there.

  5. Hi Thomas - did you see any churches or cemetaries in Myanaung - my great grandfather lived there until 1911. My mum and her family stayed there when the Japanese invaded Rangoon. I wanted to see if there are still traces of the Francis family there
