Yangon has superior natural conditions and abundant resources, but the development of industry and agriculture has been slow for many years.

Thayer sighed, "It may be due to the geographical location, like Laos, there are too many mountains, not many plains, it may also be that the weather is too hot, there are not many crops suitable for tropical cultivation, there are also historical reasons, various reasons, the economy here is slow development." ”

"It can't be compared with those rich countries in Southeast Asia, Singapore and Brunei are really much richer than Myanmar. ”

"Next, let's introduce the domestic railways in Myanmar, before we introduced some aviation, Myanmar still has several large airports, connecting many routes in neighboring countries, it is still very convenient to take a plane. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, we came by plane, and I still think it's very convenient!"

Thayer smiled and began to explain, "Myanmar's domestic railway lines are of good quality, but they take a long time, seats are limited, and there are no dining cars, so passengers have to prepare their own food and drinks. ”

"Trains with sleepers are also available in regular and upper berths, with the latter being four-person cabins with bathrooms, refrigerators, televisions and film projection equipment. ”

"Myanmar's trains are still OK, but they are not as fast as our domestic bullet trains and high-speed railways, and the degree of modernization is still not high, and there is a big gap between them and the railways of developed countries in Europe and the United States. ”

"Of course, it's not as scary as the Indian trains, which are crowded, the carriages are too crowded, the doors are not there, and some people are still sitting on the top of the trains. ”

"The trains in Laos and Myanmar are similar, but they are still relatively backward, and the degree of modernization still needs to be improved!"

"Most of the buses in Myanmar are classic cars from South Korea and Japan in the 70s, so the fares are very cheap, and the bus numbers in Yangon are marked with Burmese numerals, so it is not easy for foreign tourists to confirm the bus numbers. ”

"Myanmar's buses are still not very modern, too old, they don't invest enough money in their transportation facilities, and many of the furnishings are still too simple, even worse than Thailand, and this aspect still needs to be developed. ”

"There are also taxis, and there are drivers who do this job, almost all of them are second-hand Japanese four-door cars from the 80s, and the taxis do not have mileage meters, some of them are not air-conditioned, and the price must be negotiated before getting in the car. ”

"There is still a lack of norms, the Internet economy is not as good as China's development, China's young people can easily use mobile phone APP to book a vehicle, travel is very convenient, there are companies to operate and manage, there are many companies in the market to compete, to provide users with better services. ”

Yangon looks like a huge park, full of plants, flowers and stupas, monks with bare left shoulders and red robes floating barefoot in the streets, Yangon has the dark red roofs of the British buildings left over from the past, the Hindu temples are inlaid with various statues of gods and goddesses covered with moss-covered roofs, the tops of the quadrangular boxes invented by modern civilization, stupas, churches, doves frolicking in the sky.

Coming here, Zhou Sen has a different feeling, which is very different from the feeling of going to Europe, although you can also see the church here, but the meaning is different, there was a war here, there is also a history of occupation, there is a Western influence, and there is a unique culture here.

Seeing people praying and praying in front of the Buddha statue so devoutly, Zhou Sen stood next to him, as if he could also understand the mood of the local people, who all hoped to live and work in peace and contentment and live a good life, which was common.

In a community with a shared future for mankind, no matter where people are, they all have a common wish, that is, peace and a happy life.

Most of the cars look like they came out of scrapyards, mostly rusted, and due to the Western blockade, it is difficult for Myanmar to import cars, many of which are from the Ne Win era, and classic cars, jeeps and old-fashioned British-designed Indian-made buses abound.

Zhou Sen felt that the buses in China were better, the taxis were cleaner and tidier, and the service was better than ours, and the buses and taxis in Myanmar were a bit backward.

Many of the open-air baths, separated from the street by a wall, were greeted by a group of women, wrapped in skirts, with some plump shoulders peeking out of the wall, who were being poured water on their bodies with wooden buckets, laughing loudly, washing, and one by one going out of the walls to wring the water out of their hair.

Seeing strangers, he didn't avoid it, and laughed loudly and happily as if no one was around, this picture also impressed Zhou Sen deeply, which reminded Zhou Sen of the Songkran Festival that Lao Liang and Thayer had introduced to him before.

When you have the opportunity in the future, be sure to participate in it and experience such joy.

At the same time, a group of monks walked barefoot, each holding a brown-red oil-paper umbrella, Zhou Sen looked at it, and felt that the monks' clothes in Thailand were somewhat similar to the monks' clothes in Myanmar and Laos.

Some of the monks greeted Zhou Sen politely and saluted, and some walked past Zhou Sen as if no one was around, it seems that there is still a difference among the monks.

Thayer saw that the monks would perform their Burmese rituals, Zhou Sen and Liu Dazhuang also followed the customs, followed Thayer and performed a salute, the monks returned the salute, and then followed the monk team away, the sound of chanting came from the temple, and there was an endless stream of people who came to worship incense.

There are shops selling textiles, and the simple beauty is hard to describe in words, behind the shops are workshops, and outside the workshops are the villages, which are hidden behind the streets.

A dozen or so old looms in the workshop are working rhythmically, looking like a 19th-century British weaving workshop, but the workers' attire does not look like that of a worker, wearing their own clothes, and the clothing is not uniform.

Outside the workshop, there are two cauldrons, the fog is steaming, two men are dyeing cloth, the dog is roaming freely in the workshop, a huge city of life, full of vitality, using ancient household goods.

There is a lot of life here, there are scenes of local people working, busy figures in the workshop, there are also women holding their hair in buns, going to the river to splash water laughter, with children, with the elderly, sitting in front of their yards, basking in the sun.

Chatting with familiar people around, although Zhou Sen couldn't understand what they said, but from the smiles on the faces of the old people, he could guess some, they talked homely, and people also liked to be lively, and came out to see the hawkers on the street, and watched the performances, which added vivid colors to life.

Thayer took everyone around, and he felt a little tired.

"We're here today, everyone is tired, let's go back first, take everyone to eat, rest for the night, tomorrow morning, we'll come out again and continue shopping!"

"Okay!" Zhou Sen agreed.
