Personal highlights

  1. Dala Township: a very poor area south of the Yangon River
  2. Fate: struck by a devastating Tsunami 2008 and left in poverty
  3. Access: no bridge is available, only a crowded ferry on the river
  4. Residents: more than 150,000 people are struggling for life
  5. My trip: guided by a local boy, driving in a TucTuc
