Anawrahta Street Yangon City

Here is the 5th Avenue oriental style.

It's a bit smaller, old style, somehow like old Calcutta and more polluted but similar busy this is the main street of Yangon, although there are many other wide boulevard this one is top. Anawrahta Street was dedicated as the main one when the British rebuilt the city.

Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is the most famous in the country. Every day pilgrim come from everywhere in the country and other countries to pay respect  or are just curious what's up here and get a real surprise since this is huge, read more.

• Yangon today after it is not capital anymore but for sure the center of Myanmar.
• Yangon Walk through the hearth of the city touching the important monuments and resurrecting some history related to British colonial times.  
• Bogyoke Market & Yangon Shopping with the old oriental bazaar and the newer malls.
• Hotels & Resorts in the very city center and some other north of Shwedagon and Windermere Guesthouses.
• Maha Bandoola Park with City Hall and around.
• Old Yangon in the center with brick buildings and Victorian style. 
• Sule Pagoda which the British designed at the middle of Rangoon when they rebuilt the town.
• Old ministers office built by the British in the 19.th Century is a interesting Victorian Brick Structure but as usual in Myanmar totally rotten (2015).  

Nightlife in Yangon

There is a busy nightlife in the center of Yangon along Anawrahta Road are countless of restaurants and in Chinatown where the street runs through are plenty of bars, nightclubs and restaurants, read more.

Where the road crosses into Chinatown is Theingyi Zei Market a prime nightlife destination. The picture was taken in Zero Zone Restaurant at the rooftop of the Ambassador Building during a nightclub fashion shop with pretty Burmese Girls, read more.

The city core is along Anawrahta, Bogyoke Aung San and Maha Bandola Street. The British dedicated this with the Sule Pagoda as the center of the city. Actually this is one of few things they did right, it is very visible when comparing the wide boulevards and parks available here to the greed of Bangkok where nobody ever gave a square meter for public use.

Hotels and myriads of shops. 

Plus restaurants and small workshops are around. Some big Pagodas and Mosques plus Indian and Chinese Temples show a multicultural ambience. All this would be fine when they would get the stinking ancient buses and small trucks which were bought decades ago off the street. I think the best would be to make a bold move close the street make it a walking zone with a similar transport system like BTS in Bangkok and after finishing leaving it like that, no cars and buses anymore.

The UN burns a lot of money here.

This is via extremely high salaries they pay their expatriate people with no much results, they should cut their workforce and salary and pass the donated money for a reasonable use. The Western Taxpayer is not donation money to nurture people from the EU and US in an extremly poor remote country to soak it up with high tax free salary every month in the upper 4 digit dollar range and many even in the 5 digit range.
