Picture
Street walking Yangon....
Picture
...with its mixture of architecture and street life. A mosque on the right, with pigeons waiting for someone to throw bird food. 
Picture
A main market attracts shoppers...
Picture
...where not only are things sold, but made: a jewelry maker.
Picture
A convenience store....
Picture
whose daughter, fresh back from university graduation in London, sells notebooks while looking for work in her field.
Picture
Ah, mannequins.
Picture
A shop roasting coffee beans, and...
Picture
...selling out the front.
Picture
Here was an air-conditioned shop we could not resist (yes, it was a hot and humid trip).
Picture
McDonald's? 
Picture
Upstairs seating for a secluded and quiet place...
Picture
...to eat ice cream and donuts and drink coffee.
Picture
Meanwhile, out on the streets after rain, markets are open...
Picture
...with fruits and vegetables.
Picture
And without the rain, street side dining is quite popular.
Picture
The streets have what you need: cell phone charges and deep fried, er, hmmm, locusts??
Picture
This was more recognizable: boiled corn on the cob! On the right, betel nut plugs and cigarettes.

Picture
It is common to come across monks making rounds for alms: here steam rice is scoped into their alms bowls by a shop keeper.
Picture
Nuns also make rounds.
Picture
Parents wait to pick up children. Note the sign in English: "Tabacco Free School".
Picture
Vendors set up for the daily exodus of students onto the street.
Picture
Appears bargaining, here for gold fish, starts at an early age.
Picture
The streets are full of a lively mish-mash of signs and languages. Note that the restaurant is for SHAN NOODLES, and recall at Inle Lake, in Shan State, a seal of Che on a bus. Here a poster on a wall. The Chinese on the sign says "Shan Tapas Cafe"...
Picture
...and the "fu" Chinese character probably means it is a Chinese-Burmese run restaurant.
Picture
This tea shop, with Chinese characters for "National Tea Shop", undoubtably was....it was in Chinatown.
Picture
Used book/magazine stores, or sidewalk vendors are everywhere...
Picture
...the newspapers doing more business than the old book sellers...
Picture
...as well as these hawkers of the rather specialized item. Or are there that many foreign investors in passing cars and taxis?
Picture
Aungsan Suukyi makes news....
Picture
...and, teamed with Obama, posters or....
Picture
calendar covers are hot commodities.
.
Picture
Her political party, the National League for Democracy, had sidewalk shops and ...
Picture
...a modest display at the gate to her home. Note the photo is not of her, but of her father. The party symbol is a dancing, or if the contest requires it, fighting peacock.
Picture
However if you are selling "extra creamy" instant coffee, a pretty female face might be the photo to use. This is a public telephone booth, the "peace" symbol is the Myanmar Post and Telecommunications logo (ain't that an interesting writing system?!)
Picture
Learning the first nine numbers helped the search for a Bus No. 1: not this one, it's 124. 
Picture
Buses, cars and taxis have not put all of the cycle-ricksaws out of work, but sometimes business can be slow. Yangon dealt with the crush and crazed scene of motor-bikes by banning them!
Picture
After a long day of street walking, nothing like a hair shampoo and trim or....
Picture
,,,maybe this. Hmmm, a "serving" of all these pains? maybe not.
