Beside of the hygienic issue
at Yangon Chinatown
nightlife they have fishes lying
around for hours without putting
them on ice and nobody know where
this seafood was already laying
around before. If you are getting
sick ask the hotel for help, there
are plenty of 24 hour clinics in
this area and along the main road in
downtown who know how to handle
this, don’t use a hotel doctor or a
bigger hospital they will milk you
like a cow.
There are fruit markets,
supermarkets, and
liquor shops some second hand
markets and at real restaurants
authentic Chinese dishes. This is
not a thriving tourism industry such
as in Bangkok’s Chinatown or
KL Chinatown
but it’s a good start; all this will
change a lot in coming years.
Yangon is a metropolis
full of energy and
has the advantage of wide boulevards
with plenty of green; it’s not such
a “stone desert” like
Bangkok
or
Singapore
that is one of the positive legacies
of British colonial times who
rebuilt the former
Rangoon.
Chinatown means
shopping,
trading,
entertainment and a vibrant
nightlife, the strange is there is
not even one Chinese letter visible,
when comparing this with Bangkok or
KL with myriads of Chinese writing
it’s somehow unusual.
Chinese people blend perfect
into this environ,
actually most Myanmar ethnic groups
have a Chinese origin, they all came
down from southern China a few
thousand years ago, that’s similar
in Thailand only the south of the
country is populated by people who
came in from the Island World of
today Indonesia, they live now in
the
Mergui
Archipelago. |
