Now I am in myanmar, i have been here for nearly one week. This is my first business trip, coming to a place which is so strange to me yangon.
The first day, 4/3/05, 2.30pm, 5 more min and my plane will reach yangon airport. The sky was very blue and nice; land was green and clean. Once the plane touch to the airport and I walk out of the plane I could feel the heat welcoming me. It was very hot and all the passenger need to take a bus to the custom. A old but cute Japanese bus which on longer you can see it in Japan. The only one plane but the waiting time to get through the custom at the airport was so long. Thanks god that we are the only plane that landed at that time. Once I was out the custom Mr seck which is the present building manager of Singapore embassy came to fetch me with his so call " Sport car", it was a pick-up la. When to a Singapore restaurant for lunch with mr chong, james cleaning contractor, it was like only 12pm in myanmar. After having dinner is work time, the way they work is very relax. I reach office at 2 then they will talk till 3 pm in the office then start work.
seck brought me around to embassy and tell me what is the daily routine that I need to do. Then we went embasyor house to fixe up the tv for him. Work stop at 5 went back to my apartment to bath then go for a billard will all the contractor cos friday is there happy hour, so all having fun at the place till10, then mr chong went to ktv while I got back with seck to set all the thing before he leave.
5/3/05 sat, moring seck hand over all the key to me and make his way to airport. I am alone so change and yoyo time to walk. I walk around to embassy area which was also know as the out-town for more then 6 hour been to there famous park (lover park), biggest pagoda and all the small road. The living standed here is very low, and there is only 2 class of poeple the very rich and the very poor. The exchange rate here is s$1 to K500 and their biggest currency is K1000 therefore I am like bring K40000 very time I went out and It was like 1 big chunk of note in my pocket. There meal can be as cheap as k200 and the restaurant is like k1500 per set to K10000. The house the live in were all in very bad condition, There are alot of very beautiful building which is not well maintance if not they can be very niceand may be as beautiful as shanghai.
All the people here is very freindly and nice......
