Our Home In Myanmar: Four Years In Yangon

In 2015, we made the decision to leave our home in the United States and move to Yangon, Myanmar. We had been living in the US for over 10 years, and we were ready for a change. We had always been fascinated by Southeast Asia, and Myanmar seemed like the perfect place to start our new adventure.

Yangon is the largest city in Myanmar, and it's a vibrant and bustling metropolis. The city is home to a diverse population of people from all over the world, and there's a real sense of energy and excitement in the air. We quickly fell in love with the city, and we made it our home for the next four years.

During our time in Yangon, we had the opportunity to experience all that the city has to offer. We visited the iconic Shwedagon Pagoda, we explored the bustling markets, and we ate our way through the city's delicious street food. We also made friends from all over the world, and we learned a lot about Myanmar's culture and history.

Of course, living in Yangon wasn't always easy. The city can be chaotic and overwhelming at times, and there were times when we felt like we were out of our element. But we always managed to find our way, and we grew to love the city more and more each day.

One of the things we loved most about Yangon was the people. The people of Myanmar are some of the kindest and most welcoming people we have ever met. They are always willing to help, and they are always happy to share their culture with others. We made some lifelong friends during our time in Yangon, and we will always cherish the memories we made there.

Another thing we loved about Yangon was the food. The food in Myanmar is simply amazing. It's a mix of Burmese, Chinese, Indian, and Thai influences, and it's all delicious. We ate our way through the city's many street food stalls, and we never had a bad meal. In fact, we still dream about the mohinga, the shan noodles, and the tea leaf salad that we ate in Yangon.

Of course, no place is perfect, and Yangon is no exception. The city can be polluted and noisy at times, and the traffic can be a nightmare. But for us, the pros of living in Yangon far outweighed the cons. We loved the city's energy and excitement, we loved the people, and we loved the food. Yangon will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we will never forget our time there.

Here are some of our favorite things about Yangon:

• The people
• The food
• The culture
• The history
• The energy

Here are some of the challenges we faced while living in Yangon:

• The pollution
• The noise
• The traffic
• The culture shock
• The language barrier

Overall, our experience living in Yangon was positive. We loved the city, the people, and the culture. We learned a lot about ourselves and about the world during our time there. We would recommend Yangon to anyone who is looking for a new adventure.
