A change in worlds describes the green garden town of Pyin Oo Lwin. Formerly a cool refreshing hill station for British administrators during hot spells, it is still a verdant delight today. Our lovely garden setting residence was the Royal Parkview Hotel, located next to the well manicured National Kandawgyi Gardens
Begun during the British occupancy in 1924, this 435-acre botanical garden features more than 480 species of flowers, shrubs, and trees many annotated with their scientific nomenclature in Latin, The maintenance continues today as you can see .

Fascinating to fine these young Buddhist nuns walking along main street gathering food and money for their daily meal.

Leaving town I found my treasure shop...Pacific World Curio, owned by a former Bangladeshi and filled with tons of Burmese ethnic options: masks, Naga and Chin jewelry, and vintage Kachin textile.....!!! A small paradise.
