Yangon river taxi. MYANMAR (Burma), Yangon (Rangoon), August 1, 2013. At a jetty at the Yangon River wooden river taxis wait for passengers for the short journey across the river in the former Burmese capital city. The fast wooden boats are an alternative to the big ferries and stop at various jetties on the Dala side. Old rusty ferries connected both sides of the river on a frequent schedule for many years until mid-November of 2014 when they were replaced by three new vessels donated by the government of Japan. After decades of political isolation and economic embargo the South East Asian country which is rich in natural resources is gradually opening up and showing signs of economic and political reforms. Parts of those political reforms include the release of large numbers of imprisoned monks. Yet many Burmese are still hoping for greater steps toward democracy and further economic reforms after the next elections in November 2015.
