Night Market in Yangon
In this video we take a walk along Strand Road in Yangon to witness one of the World's longest Night markets. This night market stretches well over 2 kilometres as it runs along the side of Strand Road which is right next to Yangon River. The stalls lined up along this road sells all sorts of foods - mainly to local Yangonians looking for a bite to eat with friends or family after work. It is all cheap and cheerful. Everyone can grab a chair and join in with eating some cheap street food.

The Shwedagon Pagoda is the most famous pagoda in Myanmar. The pagoda is 2,600 years old, making it the oldest in the world. The pagoda can be found west of the Royal Lake on 114-acre Singuttara Hill in Yangon and is visible from most parts of the city by day both during the day and at night while illuminated.

Street Food in Myanmar - Sweet and Salty Dosa in Yangon!
One of the many street food snacks to eat in Myanmar is a dosa, also known in Burmese as a kee mar. Read the full article here:
When you’re walking around Yangon, you’ll have many different choices for an afternoon street food snack. Many things are deep fried, there’s a variety of different types of salads, and then there are Myanmar style dosas. A dosa is originally a south Indian creation, like a big crepe that’s often filled with masala spiced potatoes and wrapped up into a cone or burrito shape, and then eaten with a number of sauces or chutneys. You can get an Indian style dosa in Yangon as well, and I ate them a number of times, but there are also street side dosas that are a bit different.
Ying and I were just walking past when we noticed this dosa vendor, and she had just set up her shop and was starting to sell her snacks - and all of a sudden a few people put in their orders as soon as she started cooking. It looked good and fresh, and so we couldn’t help ordering. I noticed that she was cooking two different types of street food dosas, one was savory and the other was sweet, so since we didn't want to decide which one to go for we got both.
The batter of a Myanmar dosa is a mixture of rice flour, and it’s first spooned onto the hot griddle and spread out into a thin crepe. Then some oil and seasoning was sprinkled on, followed by a mixture of vegetables and some beans and boiled peas. Then on went some oil and a bit more seasoning, and then it was rolled up. The sweet version of the dosa was prepared with the same pancake crepe, but instead of the vegetables, instead it was a layer of palm sugar, then some coconut, and beans as well. It was also wrapped up, and once she was done cooking, she wrapped them in a colorful pieces of newspaper, and handed them to us, instructing us to hold them by the top instead of the bottom as it was so hot.
Both of them were very good, but since I’m more of a savory salty kind of guy, I liked that one better. The pancake was a little crispy on the outside, and it was warm and filled with vegetables on the inside. The sweet dosa was also very good, nice and flavorful from the palm sugar, and fragrant from the shreds of fresh coconut. Both were good and made a nice Myanmar street food snack in Yangon.
So which dosa do you think you would like better, salty or sweet?
Price - 200 Kyats per dosa, about $0.20

Exchanging Money in Myanmar
I think one of the hot topics with anyone interested in traveling to Myanmar is money.
No, sorry she leaned, sliding my hundred dollar back to me with a polite smile. It is marked.
I didn't know what she meant. I had tried to get the freshest and newest looking dollars possible. She pointed to a marking on the back of the bill. There it was. Someone had discretely stamped it as some type of authorization, similar to the way American sales people like to hold up a fresh bill to the light to examine it's authenticity before striping it with a highlighter to see if affects counterfeit paint.
Who turns away a hundred dollar bill?
I'm sure it's heartbreaking on both ends.
Myanmar's corrupt currency history
Although I'd heard about U.S. bills being rejected for slight misdemeanors, it still seemed kinda nutty that a developing country would reject a hundred dollar bill. At the time, I didn't know their history with currency.
In earlier days, the government used to mess with the people. They'd change the currency on them. If they felt too many people were getting rich, they'd announce that the currencies of the highest denomination — like the hundred dollar bill-- would be taken out of circulation. Hundred dollar bills lost their value. All that money was lost.
The government would also change their own currency denominations based on whim, like a leader's lucky number. So eventually that the Burmese realized the one currency whose value couldn't easily be changed on whim was the American dollar.
Distrusting of the government and banks, many Burmese withdrew their money and started keeping their American dollars in large books, to keep their dollars pressed, safe and pristine.
Today, many Burmese still prefer to safeguard their money in their homes.

Myanmar/ Yangon Market Part 4 HD

Music: Harpe Birmane:Myanmar music
Yangon is a former capital of Burma (Myanmar) and the capital of Yangon Region. Although the military government has officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw since March 2006,Yangon, with a population of over five million, continues to be the country's largest city and the most important commercial centre.Although Yangon's infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in Southeast Asia, it has the largest number of colonial buildings in the region today. While many high-rise residential and commercial buildings have been constructed or renovated throughout downtown and Greater Yangon in the past two decades, most satellite towns that ring the city continue to be deeply impoverished.
Colonial Yangon, with its spacious parks and lakes and mix of modern buildings and traditional wooden architecture, was known as the garden city of the East. By the early 20th century, Yangon had public services and infrastructure on par with London.Before World War II, about 55% of Yangon's population of 500,000 was Indian or South Asian, and only about a third was Bamar (Burman). Karens, the Chinese, the Anglo-Burmese and others made up the rest.
Yangon's property market is the most expensive in the country and beyond the reach of most Yangonites. Most rent outside downtown and few can afford to rent downtown area apartments. (In 2008, rents for a typical 650-to-750-square-foot (60 to 70 m2) apartments in downtown and vicinity range between K70,000 and K150,000 and those for high end condos between K200,000 and K500,000.)
Most men of all ages (and some women) spend their time at ubiquitous tea-shops, found in any corner or street of the city. Watching European football (mostly English Premier League with occasional La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga) matches while sipping tea is a popular pastime among many Yangonites, rich and poor alike. The average person stays close to his or her neighbourhood haunts. The well-to-do tend to visit shopping malls and parks on weekends. Some leave the city on weekends for Chaungtha and Ngwesaung beach resorts in Ayeyarwady Division.
Yangon is also home to many pagoda festivals (paya pwe), held during dry-season months (November -- March). The most famous of all, the Shwedagon Pagoda Festival in March, attracts thousands of pilgrims from around the country.Yangon's museums are the domain of tourists and rarely visited by the locals.
Most of Yangon's larger hotels offer some kind of nightlife entertainment, geared towards tourists and the well-to-do Burmese. Some hotels offer traditional Burmese performing arts shows complete with a traditional Burmese orchestra. The pub scene in larger hotels is more or less the same as elsewhere in Asia. Other options include karaoke bars and pub restaurants in Yangon Chinatown.
Due to the problems of high inflation, the lack of high denomination notes, and the fact that many of the population do not have access to checks, or credit or debit cards, it is common to see citizens carrying a considerable amount of cash. (The highest denomination of Burmese currency kyat is 5000 (~US$5.)) Credit cards are only rarely used in the city, chiefly in the more lavish hotels.
