Chapter 598: Open-air bath
If Yangon looks like a huge park, then Naypyidaw is more like a building in a natural park, where things that belong to nature are obviously more than artificially created things, because the construction time is not long, so there are not many stupas here, but all kinds of flowers and trees occupy most of them.
Of course, the lack of stupas does not mean that there are none, after all, Myanmar is the so-called Buddha country, in the city, everywhere you can see bare left shoulders, wearing red robes monks walking barefoot on the street, under their armpits, are holding a brown-red oil-paper umbrella, from time to time to greet the people on the street.
This is very similar to the situation in Yangon.
Naypyidaw is a great option if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and get closer to nature, but at the same time, you have to put up with the outdated facilities, and of course, some people may feel that the hard work in order to breathe fresh air is nothing, it depends on everyone's preferences.
The streets here are empty, there are no bustling hawkers, and there are no roads congested with traffic, but many tourists compare this place to a "cute" national capital because it is as small as a child.
There aren't too many tourist attractions in Naypyidaw, come and visit the Naypyidaw Peace Pagoda, the Naypyidaw Sports Centre, the Naypyidaw Zoo, and the magnificent City Hall office building.
Completed in 1952, Myanmar is known as the country of pagodas, and compared to other pagodas, the pagoda is the youngest one, and it is different from other pagodas. All are made of reinforced concrete, the cloud altar and the tower are 36 meters high, the whole tower has 6 gates, all of which enshrine a Buddha statue, symbolizing the six gatherings.
The treasure house of the Peace Pagoda also contains the relics of Shakyamuni's two great disciples, as well as a silver Buddha statue of one ton and other valuable Buddhist collections. There is also an auspicious mountain in the northeast of the Peace Pagoda, which has a Buddhist hall, a scripture room, a meditation cave, etc. In the upper left corner there is the ordination altar, in the lower right corner is the Burmese Church Hall, and on the right is the Pali Buddhist College, which is the main ashram for Buddhist festival celebrations.
Many of the cars on the streets of Yangon are from the British colonial period. And in Naypyidaw. Most of the cars are more like cars picked up from scrap car yards, many of which have long since passed their scrap deadline but are still driving, partly because of the blockade of the Western world. On the other hand. Of course, it also has something to do with Myanmar's economic backwardness. Otherwise, the West will not be able to block such a thing as importing cars.
However, this may have become a characteristic of various cities in Myanmar. On the wide road, you often see the kind of classic cars, old-fashioned jeeps, etc., and people who don't know think they have entered the movie set.
Compared with other cars, Zhang Tianyuan's car is very modern, it is said that this car was donated to Myanmar by a jewelry company outside Myanmar for free, as for how it got into the hands of private individuals, it is unknown, but this car is indeed more modern, driving on the streets of Myanmar, there is really a feeling of being high.
When I went to Yangon yesterday, Mao Shifa told Zhang Tianyuan that there are many open-air baths in the cities of Myanmar, and the women here often bathe in the open air very generously, and the road is only separated by a small wall, and even sitting in the car and standing up can see the beautiful scenery inside.
But because he bought an ivory mat later, Zhang Tianyuan didn't have the heart to see such a scene, but he never wanted to come to Naypyidaw, and finally got over it, those women were wrapped in thin skirts, and their upper bodies were smooth, Zhang Tianyuan inadvertently, he could see the white and soft arms, as well as the sexy collarbones, and he could hear the melodious silver bell-like laughter of those women.
The driver probably didn't look to the side, but when he passed by, the speed slowed down a lot, which was also for the convenience of several passengers in the car.
Liu Shengping turned his head to look at it intentionally or unintentionally, but was twisted back by Weng Hong's ears: "What to see, what is there to see, I have never seen a woman taking a bath, cover my ears too!"
"Wife, aren't you embarrassed. Liu Shengping smiled bitterly.
In fact, he was mainly because he heard the pleasant laughter and the sound of water, so he inadvertently twisted his head, and he didn't see anything, but he was discovered by his wife Weng Hong, so he had to do it.
Zhang Tianyuan snickered in his heart, then turned his head to take a look, I have to say, many women in this country are still quite open, those women just put a towel around their bodies, and twisted their hair on the side of the road, the snow-white thighs and plump and charming breasts are looming, and the mouth is dry.
It is said that men are animals that think with their lower bodies, but in fact, this is not true, how can physiological things be associated with men's qualities, this is not scientific.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't cheat mentally, but the little brother just didn't obey, what can you do for him, unless he uses the earth qi to order the little brother to choose to surrender, but in that case, he is afraid that something will happen after too many times.
"Tianyuan, you also close my eyes for me, don't look at it!" Weng Hong finished teaching her husband a lesson, so she turned her head and taught Zhang Tianyuan a lesson.
Fortunately, Zhang Tianyuan reacted quickly, pretending to be casual, and whistled a few times, he was not afraid of the future mother-in-law, but afraid that the future mother-in-law would stab the matter to the future wife, and it would be troublesome.
Even if Liu Mengxun didn't say anything, he would inevitably feel a little indebted in his heart.
I can't help but admire the snake lin, from beginning to end, the snake lin's head has not been twisted, and he has always looked ahead, just like the sculpture on the side of the road.
In fact, he didn't know, it wasn't that Snake Lin didn't want to see it, but that Snake Lin was strong on the outside and shy on the inside, he wanted to see it to death, but he was embarrassed, and he was fighting in his heart.
When Serpentine finally made up his mind to turn his head to look, he found that the car had already passed through Naypyidaw, and it was not far from the place where the Emerald Public Market was held.
"Hahaha, Team Snakes. Miss the show!" Zhang Tianyuan laughed.
"What a show, don't talk nonsense, I only have Yueyue alone in my heart!" Snake Lin's face turned red all of a sudden.
"Tianyuan, don't bully honest people, I think Shelin is a good boy, you have to learn from him in the future, don't learn from some rich people, if you have a wife, you have to go outside to steal fish, that's not good." Weng Hong began to administer justice for Serpentine.
Zhang Tianyuan shrugged his shoulders and laughed dryly. He didn't know what his future mother-in-law was worried about. If he Zhang Tianyuan really likes to mess with flowers and grass, then this time he will come to Naypyidaw, and he will definitely bring a few big beauties with him, as for bringing a man over. Alas.
"That's right, uncle. I was visiting Naypyidaw for the first time. I've always heard others say what the jade public plate is, but what kind of thing is this public market, and what does it look like. I don't know what it is, it's still a little bit of time away from that place, can you tell me?"
Zhang Tianyuan asked this question, firstly, it is true that his concept is a little vague, after all, he has not been in the gambling circle for a long time, and secondly, he doesn't want to listen to the future mother-in-law nagging there, there are some things he really doesn't like to hear, but if you are idle, you can't listen to it, just lead the topic directly to something else, so it's good.
"Isn't it Tianyuan, don't you really know what the public market means? Then how did you make so much money gambling on stones, you don't need your uncle to say this, I know, this jade public market, the jade public market is...... It is...... , What is the husband, I seem to have heard you mention it before, how to forget it, forget it to death. ”
This mother-in-law is also too interesting, and she happily wants to explain, but she doesn't know what the public market means, and she has to turn to her husband for help, but it's a pity that this is my future mother-in-law, otherwise I have to hurt her. ”
Although Zhang Tianyuan thought so in his heart, he would never dare to say it, otherwise he would offend his future mother-in-law, and he would not have a good life in the future.
"In fact, the so-called public auction refers to the seller to publicize the goods to be traded on the market, so that industry insiders or the market according to the quality of the goods, the lowest transaction price recognized in the market, and then the buyer bids on the basis of the price, in a sense, it is just the prototype of the 'auction' transaction method.
After the Burmese government nationalized all mineral resources in the early sixties of the twentieth century, in order to plug the loss of tax revenues and make the scarce jade and jade resources generate more foreign exchange earnings for the country, it began to hold a jade and jade wool market in March 1964.
In the past, this jade market was carried out in the Myanmar jewelry trading center outside the 25th axiom of Yangon, because the English abbreviation of this place is MCC, so the locals often call the jade market "mcc", and in the mainland, the general saying is that the gambling stone conference, to put it bluntly, this is the most direct concept. ”
Liu Shengping coughed twice, took the shelf, and then turned his head and said, after all, he has been doing this business for many years, and he knows too many things than Zhang Tianyuan, maybe he is also afraid that his wife will continue to nag, Liu Shengping said this, it was almost unbearable, and even many details of the Burmese Jade Public Plate were told to Zhang Tianyuan.
Zhang Tianyuan naturally has to listen carefully, because he is also doing this business now, so naturally if he wants to understand, then he has to understand it thoroughly, don't know half of it, and when others smell it in the future, he won't be as confused as his future mother-in-law.
In fact, the earliest time when Myanmar held a jade public market can be traced back to 1962, that is, after the military took over the Burmese regime, in order to block the loss of tax revenue, so that the scarce jade and jade resources for the country to create more foreign exchange income, in March 1964 began to hold a jade and jade wool market.
And this so-called jade public plate is not only one, but divided into three types.
One is the Myanmar Jewelry Fair: it has been held since 1964 and is held every year in March, and as of March 2009, it has been held for 46 sessions. The jadeite and jade wool participating in the public market each session accounts for about 2/5 of the total annual mining volume in Myanmar.
The other is the Myanmar Annual Mid-Year Jewellery Fair, which has been held since 1992 and is held every year in November, and has been held for 17 times as of November 2008. The jadeite and jade wool participating in the public market each session accounts for about 2/5 of the total annual mining volume in Myanmar.
The other is the Myanmar Jewellery Special Fair: it has been held since 1995, and the Myanmar state-owned large jewellery companies organize their own supply and choose to conduct irregular sales in January or June every year. It is an important supplementary form of the above two types of public auctions, which are supervised by the government. The jadeite and jade wool of this kind of public plate accounts for about 1/5 of the total annual mining volume in Myanmar. (To be continued......)
