Governor's Residence, Yangon

I had the opportunity to walk around this wonderful old colonial hotel in Yangon  with just 27 rooms.  If there is a problem with staying here it might be the creaking wooden floors: for some this is an attraction,    for others..  well, life would be boring if everything was perfect.
Each time  I have an opportunity to absorb the charm of an old time colonial hotel it rekindles my desire to fashion  a round- the-world itinerary focused on these iconic symbols of a more gracious and leisurely time. 

These door knobs are  on the bathroom doors. Two fixed knobs on the outside  with a hinged peacock on the inside  to latch the doors closed.



 A wonderful antique Burmese armoire.
  


 Me,  the entrance to the hotel,  the pool and of course the inevitable peacock, Myanmar's  national bird.
