Pre-Thingyan

2008.04.11
Legendary Yangon Mayor Station, used to be the biggest one in town. But this year, ALPINE DRINKING WATER got a huge one right at the corner of KABAAYE PAGODA road and UNIVERSITY AVENUE road. This year, ALPINE hired IRON CROSS, the best rock band in Myanmar.

Wider view of same place. Actually, I would love to grab some shots tomorrow at the opening ceremony. But since I have decided to stay home this year, I am not going to change my mind. Be satisfied with this yea?

Corner of MAHABANDOHLA road and 14th Street. The station is fully sponsored by FOLLOW ME COSMETIC. When I was young, I used to play there because it's next to my grandma house.

Corner of MAHABANDOHLA road and 23rd Street. Family station crafted by NEW TAISIN and LUCKY TAISIN goldsmith shops.

Corner of Anawratha road and 38th street. A medium one.

Township Administration Committee station of KYAUKTADA township. Sponsored by V.I.P (apparel), EXCEL (fashion) and MSI (computer mother board).

Thingyan Fashion: a second hand apparel shop on ANAWRATHA road. People from rural area cannot afford to buy new items to shag. So these shops become popular. Only 1000-2000 per piece which I would say is the right price.

People:

Tomorrow is THINGYAN-A-KYO day. I feel like there's nothing for me to do with 2008 Thingyan. I feel quite isolated from those things since I am kicking my ass for GMAT exam and having some personal problems. So, I will stay home.

I didn't have time to go and take the pictures of those MANN DUTT along INYA road. My apology!! In fact, there are hundreds of them on INYA road. So I am sharing what I have. Those MANN DUTT from downtown.

I am wishing HAPPY MYANMAR THINGYAN to all of you. "THINGYAN COMES ONCE A YEAR, BUT WHEN IT DOES... IT BRINGS GOOD CHEERS." May this auspicious new year brings all the best to you and your family.

Oh... I still have heaps of interesting pictures from TAVOY. Coming soon. It's THINGYAN time, so THINGYAN post comes first. Sorrie.
