After over forty years of military rule, Myanmar, otherwise known as Burma, is finally breaking away from the past and opening its doors to the world. Gaston Bacquet reveals what daily life is really like in this once military state
It’s five-o’clock in the morning and the sun is rising over Sule Pagoda, turning the sky gold and orange. On the corner of Maha Bandoola and Kon Zay Tan streets, in the heart of the Indian Quarter in the city of Yangon, tea shop buzzboys lay out the tables and coloured plastic stools where local men and women sit as they catch up on current events or quietly read the newspaper.
Yangon sleeps early and wakes up even earlier: at this time in the morning it’s easy to find a food joint that will serve you the traditional mohinga (noodle soup and fish) and lapeiyeh (black tea with condensed and evaporated milk) for about £1. Taxis and trishaws are already running as locals go to work, or gather in parks for yoga and tai-chi practice.
Daily life in Yangon is pretty much like being in a time capsule. In a country that remained isolated from the rest of the world for over forty years, what you see is refreshingly unique: while younger generations are slowly becoming part of the digital world of Facebook and Twitter, older people still prefer to socialise outdoors over tea, relax in the shade or take strolls in parks – the parks here are well-kept and built around lakes, with long boardwalks, leafy trees and hideouts for couples looking for some privacy away from the watchful eye of their parents. Out on the sidewalks, thousands of people set up shops each day offering goods and services from street food, fixing umbrellas by hand, repairing sewing machines, cutting keys or selling smart (and not so smart) phones.
