Scott's market, officially named Bogyoke Aung San Market has really never changed it's name - the locals still refer to it by it's colonial name, they say it's easier to pronounce. With over 2000 stalls, each with their own charm,and welcoming owners, I never felt overwhelmed with pressure to buy, although the prices were so good it was hard to keep a cool head.
I did buy 5 jade bracelets for $5.00 and receive compliments wherever I go, now I'm angry at myself for not buying more
School is free for all, yet a school teacher makes $100.00 per month. whereas my guide makes $50.00 per day and a bell boy in a hotel makes $400.00 per month. Taxes vary from 10-37% according to your profession not your earnings.
