Public bus with no hint where to go!

A public bus
First impression of Burmese language - they look curly, cute and look like many different shape of holes on cheese!

Troublesome for tourists is ......... all route numbers on bus is Burmese. So, to be able to travel around the city of Yangon by public transport, you need to be at least 'Burmese number literate'. OR just be brave to speak to the bus conductor who always 'hang out' half of the body from the front door of the bus. 

I met Thai couple travelers later on and it seems like they are more adaptable to be able to identify the Burmese number than the rest of us! They said the two language are completely different, but 'kind of similar' lol

  2. Yes, the collar distribution is perfect! I really like the two yellow dots on top. we needs to find the color designer of the bus, then fix the color balance of RMIT buildings on Swanston street! hahah
