The two old men from Pantha village in Tamu township had contact with Japanese Army during the world war. About thirty years ago, they used to be guides for the Japanese team that visited the region in search for remains of Japanese soldiers. I was the second Japanese person for them to see in thirty years after war. I would like to recommend this place to Japanese visitors as an interesting place to visit.

I came across people of screen shooting a commercial when I visited Kandawgyi Park the other day. The actress was Thet Mon Myint, a popular CM star. I think commercials are often made in the places like Kandawgyi Park because there are not many beautiful places in Yangon.
