Inside Naypyidaw: The Truth About Myanmar’s ‘Ghost City’ Capital

quote [ The newspapers call it a ‘Ghost City.’ Journalists write home to describe a vast, empty capital – four times the size of London – riddled with 20-lane highways and manned only by a skeleton crew of bureaucrats and cleaners. One reporter likened it to “an enormous film set or an abandoned Disneyland without attractions.” But Naypyidaw is not what it seems. ]

Yeah life goes on around me every day,
But it might as well be half a million miles away.
