Aung San Suu Kyi's House, errr... Wall.

Inya Lake. This is the most prime neighborhood in Yangon. All the embassies, expensive hotels and nicest restaurants are around here. They are building tons of high class residential complexes and shopping mall all over. It's definitely the old money/yuppy capital of Myanmar. This is the famous lake that the guy swam across a few years ago to visit Aung San Suu Kyi, blessing her with a couple extra years of house arrest.

This is about the best view you can get of the other side of the wall. Pretty amazing, huh?



Her awesome wall and gate! This is now a major tourist spot in Yangon. Her house is somewhere on the other side. In the past, taxi drives and locals were afraid to drive here, stop or take tourists here as they could get in serious trouble for supporting her. Today, it is a popular spot for local and foreign tourists to come and visit. NLD stands for Aung San Suu Kyi's political party, Nation League for Democracy.
