Synopsis

Stories of ordinary residents who work and live in the bustling city of Yangon Once known as Rangoon, Yangon is the former capital of Myanmar, Burma, and one of the major commercial cities in Southeast Asia. A bustling hub with many businesses and social activities, it is a greener pasture for both locals and expats. It ushers people to come, live, and work in it. While most Yangon residents enjoy the success and prosperity that the commercial city offers, some simply meet failure and frustration. Nevertheless, a city is a city, welcoming people who want to take refuge in its bountifulness. Narrated in the original voices of Yangonites, voices that are sometimes tinged with irony and satire, the stories reveal their delight, empathy, follies, and humanness.
