Seeing supermarket for the first time, I shout in excitement as it has been really painful and close to impossible in our experience to haggle with the locals for a fair price local pays (we have the impression that we’ve always got charge the tourist price). A sad feeling creeps up shortly after. Is supermarket really good for the locals?

Scenes of convenient stores and local produce market closing down pops
into my head. That’s inevitable
fate as supermarkets come in. We
saw many electronic brands in Mandalay, Huawei, ZTE, Samsung, Changhong,
Apple. Soon after all other brands
in other categories will flourish.
In a couple of years, longyis will replaced by jeans, skirts, dress of
different brands. The lives of people in Myanmar will change or what we so call
‘modernized’.
Myanmar is one of the few places in this world still lives in the
traditional way. It is a valuable
thing like an extinct species. I’m
afraid, not for long, this will become extinct like many other countries. Is it a good or bad thing to be modernized?
But Sonic’s Gabriel managed to finish the race in his targeted six hours. Gigi recovered from an attack of shingles only to sadly drop out after the 1.9k swim and 90k bike. Ren Ho finished strong in 5:49:32. Other finishers included Sonic Singapore SuMei Teh and her boyfriend David Sandgren after three months of hard training.
