This Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014 photo shows the entrance to the office of World Health Organization in Yangon, Myanmar. The World Health Organization's office, surrounded by an eight-foot high fence and an iron gate, says it is paying around $80,000 a month for its office in this garish mansion in Myanmar's crumbling old capital. With the lifting of most sanctions and the easing of diplomatic pressure after the former pariah state began its transition to democracy, foreign donors, international aid organizations and multinational companies started flooding into the country. That has pushed rents sky-high, some organizations putting up to a $1 million dollars a year into the pockets of former and current generals and cronies. (AP Photo/Khin Maung Win)
