In this photo taken on September 27, 2016, the entrance of the High Court building - constructed from 1905 to 1911 - is seen along Pansodan Road in Yangon with a row of grand colonial builidings, a cosmopolitan showcase and prestigious business address during the British colonial period. Most buildings from the colonial era are now occupied by government offices, state banks and court houses while scores of others have already been razed by the flood of foreign investment that followed the end of total military rule in 2011 and has pushed the city into a development frenzy. / AFP / ROMEO GACAD (Photo credit should read ROMEO GACAD/AFP via Getty Images)
