We’ve commented on our first impressions of Myanmar already, but I have another observation to add: you don’t see many cell phones around. What you do see are these: street side phone stands.
They’re more common in big cities, but you do see them in the countryside as well. They’re little tables with a phone and an attendant. The phone line hangs onto the nearest tree, connected to god-only-knows where. How the whole thing works is beyond me, but it’s a good example of what makes traveling here so fun. It’s funky and backwards and we’re digging it.
