Chapter 2 Myanmar (Collect!) Seek to follow-up)

Wednesday, June 26.

Returning from the courier point, opening the package, and seeing the visa on his passport, he was finally relieved.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

He found a flight to Myanmar on the software and found that there was no direct flight from Haiyang City to Myanmar, so he had to choose to fly to Chuncheng, the capital of Caiyun Province.

From Spring City, take a direct flight to Mandalay.

Having planned his route, he bought a ticket for tomorrow morning.

For the rest of the day, he decided to go out and make a big purchase.

Anyway, there is space, he can buy more useful things and put them in.

………………

Following.

Attention travelers travelling from Spring City to Mandalay: Your MaMa666 international flight is now available for boarding. Please bring your belongings, exit the boarding pass and board flight 13 from Gate 4. Have a great trip, thank you!

As the airport radio sounded, Zheng Jing followed the crowd to the fourth gate to line up to board the plane.

This time I found that there are quite a lot of people going to Myanmar.

He also heard some news from the conversations of these people, most of whom were in the jade business in Mandalay.

There are also some people who open restaurants there, and the most of them are actually Malatang.

This took him by surprise.

It seems that the Burmese people like to eat Malatang very much, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people opening this there.

In addition to opening a restaurant, he also heard about people renting land there to grow watermelons and peanuts.

Moreover, as far as he knows, there are quite a few Chinese people who rent land there to grow watermelons.

It seems that as long as you dare to break through, there is an opportunity anywhere.

………………

As the plane took off from the airport, Zheng Jing picked up the book on the splint and read it.

This is a book about Myanmar with a lot of information about Myanmar.

Because he had already learned about it on the Internet, but he still picked it up and watched it with relish.

The Republic of the Union of Myanmar is a country in Southeast Asia and a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

In 2020, the total population of Myanmar reached 54.58 million.

Don't look at the large number of people, but because of the civil war, the average GDP of Myanmar is pitiful, and many families can't even eat.

According to statistics, the per capita daily income of people below urban areas in Myanmar is 20 yuan, RMB.

It can be said that Myanmar has now reached the point of collapse.

Known as the "Lost Country" and the "Land of Pagodas", Myanmar is home to 85% of the country's population who believe in Buddhism.

In Myanmar, men cut their hair at least once in their lives and became a monk, basically at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and became a monk for one or more years, which is considered by them to accumulate virtue.

Only a man who has been a monk will be an adult man.

Myanmar's topography is high in the north and low in the south. It is surrounded by mountains to the north, west and east.

Between the western mountains and the eastern plateau is the alluvial plain of the Irrawaddy River, and the terrain is low and flat.

Seeing the scenic pictures of the Irrawaddy River, Zheng Jing decided that he could go and see it when he had time.

As the second largest city in Myanmar, Mandalay is the capital of Mandalay Province, the famous former capital, the second largest city in Myanmar, and one of the political, economic and cultural centers of Myanmar.

It is named because it is backed by Mandalay Hill. Mandalay's Pali name is "Radha Nabuni Tudu", which means "City of Many Treasures", and was the new capital of the Yonggugaya Dynasty in 1857.

Therefore, the capital is located in the suburbs of the current city, most of the buildings were destroyed in the Second World War, and only the ancient imperial city and the city tower remain.

Because the famous ancient capital of Myanmar is Ava in its suburbs, the overseas Chinese in Myanmar call it "Wacheng".

Mandalay, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has many monuments to see.

The Irrawaddy River flows from the west side of the city, and the streets of the city are horizontal and vertical, with numerical names as street names, and the remains of Davrin Castle, the Forbidden City, temples, monasteries and the old British Government House.

The suburb of Mandalay Hill is 260 meters above sea level, with exquisite temple architecture on the top of the mountain, and a white pagoda at the bottom of the mountain and a square under the mountain. It is one of the Buddhist holy places in Myanmar and a tourist attraction.

In addition to these, there is also the most famous Mandalay Palace.

After reading this magazine about Myanmar, Zheng Jing's heart has flown to Myanmar.

………………

After more than five hours of flight, the plane finally landed safely at Mandalay International Airport.

After getting off the plane, the group got on the shuttle bus and came to the border checkpoint.

After queuing for inspection, he finally stamped his entry.

I followed the signs all the way to the exit, and I thought to myself, I don't know if the hotel's pick-up staff is coming.

Coming out of the exit of the station, I glanced at it and found the hotel staff who came to pick up the airport.

When he took the plane at Chuncheng Airport, he had already booked the hotel in advance and asked the hotel to arrange staff to come to pick him up.

The person who came to pick him up was a dark-skinned middle-aged man, wearing a black suit and white gloves, looking professional.

After checking the information with the hotel pick-up staff and making no mistakes, he got into the car.

Sitting in the car, the driver asked, "Sir, are you going to the hotel now?"

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "Go back to the hotel directly."

As the car leaves the airport, drive on the road to downtown Mandalay.

Not far from the city, he found that he was particularly curious about the people walking on both sides of the road.

Be curious about what they're wearing, about what they're smearing on their faces.

In order not to disturb the driver driving, he decided to ask Du Niang.

After searching, it was learned.

The thing that these people paint on their faces is called "tenaka", and its scientific name is "yellow neem powder".

Because of the hot climate in Myanmar, the temperature is often between 30 and 40 degrees, and people love to sweat when it is hot, and it is easy to produce body odor and fox odor.

Therefore, Burmese people will rub "Tenaka" on their bare arms, legs and other parts to prevent their skin from being burned by the sun and mosquito bites.

"Tenaka" has the effects of cooling, anti-inflammatory, desilting, and moisturizing the skin, and Myanmar women not only apply "tenaka" on their faces, but also use "tenaka" on parts of the body that cannot be seen.

It turned out that what they were applying was a natural skin care product, and he thought it was.

After looking at the things on their faces and looking at their clothes, I found that these people, both men and women, were wearing a kind of dress like skirts.

This time he asked the driver, and the driver told him: "This kind of skirt is called "Longi" for men and "Temin" for women, and women will tie a knot on the side to prevent it from falling, and for men, it is much simpler and rude, that is, to tie a knot on the front." ”

I didn't expect this kind of pants to be so easy to wear.

He also wants to buy one and try it when he has time.

After more than an hour's drive, he finally came to the city of Mandalay,

The hotel he booked was on a certain street.

Because he doesn't have much money, the hotel is not very high-end, only three stars, although the grade is not high, but the reputation of this hotel is very good.

That's why he chose this hotel.

Walking into the hotel, the lobby is clean and tidy, and it also exudes a woody aroma.

Coming to the front desk, there are three beautiful girls of Burmese nationality.

There are 135 ethnic groups in Myanmar, of which 65 percent are Burmese.

The Burmese, also known as the old Burmese, are indigenous, dark-skinned, Buddhist, and very different from other ethnic groups.

Because there are not many people staying at this time, one of the Burmese girls checked him in.

Take the key card to the elevator to the room, open the door, the room is clean and tidy, there is no special smell.

After checking it, he nodded in satisfaction.

Placing the backpack on the table, with the help of the backpack, he took clean clothes out of the space and prepared to take a shower.

Because Myanmar has a tropical monsoon climate, the climate is stable all year round.

Myanmar has abundant rainfall, mostly concentrated in June, July and August, when the southwest monsoon prevails, followed by May, September and October.

It's June, and the weather is bad today, it's very hot, and I feel slimy.

After taking a shower, he looked at the time, it was already noon, and it was time to eat.

He decided to take a stroll around the street near the hotel to see if there were any restaurants.
