Saturday, April 30, 2011. It has been 4 years since my last visit to Yangon. This time I am showing my Gem dealer friend around Yangon as he is interested in buying some Rubies and Sapphires. View from the window of my Jetstar flight to Myanmar. The weather was great and you could see the east coast of Malaysia. Because it was a code share flight between Jetstar and Myanmar Airways they served us meals. Myanmar is one and a half hours behind Singapore time. Jade boulders for sale. Sunday, April 17, 2011.

Jaded Traveller: October 2009
http://jadedtravels.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 14, 2009. After the Great Wall our guide brought us to a "Free Foot Massage" session where the staff try to get you buy medical products.And after that to a "Free Chinese Tea" drinking session where they try to sell you pricey Chinese tea. Soon it was time to get to the airport for our flight home. The sky is clear and the air fresh once you are out of Bejing. You need to be fit to climb the Great Wall. We visited the section of the Great Wall at JunYong Pass. Tuesday, October 13, 2009.

Monday, May 2, 2011. It was the last day and I headed to the Cathedral on Bo Aung Gyaw street to meet up with an old friend.This neighbourhood is really lively with stalls selling all sorts of food. The folks here like to apply a form of sun block on their faces. View of Yangon from our taxi as we headed to the airport. As we flew past the city limits it becomes apparent that Myanmar is an agricultural nation. Sunday, May 1, 2011. The pillars and wall in the building is paved with Jade tiles.

Jaded Traveller: February 2010
http://jadedtravels.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 20, 2010. Sights and Sounds of Eastern Singapore. The shell is 1.5 metres long. Right behind the 15 inch gun is a patchwork of what I think are trenches preserved in concrete. This shot of Terence at the tip of the gun gives a perspective of the size of this huge piece of artillery. Managed to take a shot of an Airbus A380 taking off from Changi Airport. Lots of homeless people live in tents at Changi beach. We knew that this huge ship passing thru would make a great shot.
