OT: *A in Yangon
Here's a fun one...what was posted inside TG's Yangon office..though far from the only thing that's out of date in that particular corner of the world

Haha, yeah maybe it's time to order a new one. 
One of the airlines there has ceased to exist, two are no longer part of *A, and two have changed name.
On top of that there are quite a few *A members missing.

OFFlyer, actually this was from their city office which I happened to walk past.
For arrivals in Yangon, they've actually switched to the new terminal, all LCD screen, proper aircon and high ceilings...however departure from the old terminal was pretty shocking -I've never EVER been to an international airport with NO plaque/screen indicating departure times!
Interestingly enough, PG has an all-passenger lounge there (I didn't even know they had any lounges outside Thailand) and overall quite a high presence (logos on the airport tax collection booth & arrival card, etc.)...so it was a nice treat to get away from the rather stifling heat within the terminal to the properly air-conditioned PG lounge.
