07 JUNE 2014 - YANGON, MYANMAR: An interior staircase at the Pegu Club. The Pegu Club in Yangon was the Officers' Club for the British Army when Myanmar was the British colony of Burma. The club, principally made of teak, is now abandoned and in decay. Squaters have moved into the parts of the complex still standing. Yangon has the highest concentration of colonial style buildings still standing in Asia. Efforts are being made to preserve the buildings but many are in poor condition and not salvageable.
