Had a wonderful visit to Myanmar/Burma, including a very potent visit to starting point of the Burma-Siam 'Death' railway and the Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery

[Anna Plunkett @AnnaBPlunkett]

Today on a trip to Thanbyuzayat @CNathan_Kwan and I visited the allied war cemeteries. Peaceful, well kept and a sad reminder that the devastation of war is both a historic memory and present reality in #Myanmar today

For International Museum Day, here's one of my favourite objects: a depiction of Zheng Yi Sao (the woman in red, lower right) leading a pirate fleet against the Qing navy. Detail from the 'Pacifying the South China Sea 靖海全圖' scroll at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum
