Playing Around

Fatty Dong sat in the car, enjoying the waves of cool air from the air conditioner as he laughed. "Luckily, we have a branch office here. Otherwise, we'd have melted to death in a taxi!"

"Melting to death might be an exaggeration, right? How could a taxi not have air conditioning?" Liu Sizhe said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Lu Changshun laughed. "Actually, the taxis here may be plentiful, but most of them are battered old cars without air conditioning. They don't use meters either, so you have to agree on the fare before setting off."

"No way. Things like that really happen?" Liu Sizhe found it unbelievable.

Fatty Dong said, "It's true. Before I came, I heard that Myanmar isn't a developed country. Many taxis are still secondhand cars imported in the 1990s, so it's perfectly normal for them not to have air conditioning..."

Liu Sizhe was speechless. He really hadn't expected to encounter a taxi without air conditioning.

Although the taxi situation revealed the country's poverty, judging by its natural environment, Yangon could rank among the most beautiful cities in the world.

Traveling from the airport north of the city into the urban area, they could see lush tropical trees everywhere. The trees spread out like green umbrellas over the houses beneath them, while the dense flowers and plants displayed vivid colors. Many colonial-era buildings were half-hidden among them, giving Chu Chen and the others a strong sense of exotic charm and tropical atmosphere as soon as they arrived.

Tropical rainforest trees with broad crowns, coconut palms laden with fruit, and tropical plants with broad leaves and long stems could be found throughout Yangon. Every May and June, mango and jackfruit trees could also be seen hanging heavy with tempting fruit.
