Hi Amit, You're right. The telecommunications in Yangon vary. You can bring your mobile phone from India, but will have to buy a SIM card. At the moment, permanent SIM cards cost $250 usd. It's rumoured that this cost will be significantly ... Read More

Looking to make friends in Yangon by esl.teacher

Hi, I've been living/teaching here last 5 months. It's been a great experience mostly. Making friends slower than expected, but not much luck meeting other °µÍø½ûÇøs/teachers. I'm a single female, so don't always feel comfortable going to bars, I ...

Hi, There are lots of places to meet new people in Yangon. Here are some of the favorite °µÍø½ûÇø places (which usually also have a nice mix of locals/°µÍø½ûÇøs which I think is important): - 50th Street Bar (any day of the week. Downtown. Google it.) ... Read More

Child care in Myanmar by Armand

Hi, when settling in a new country, working parents are mostly concerned about finding child care services for their children. What can you share with us about the child care system in Myanmar ? How much is daycare in Myanmar? Is the ...

Becky in Burma

I don't think any of the schools have 8am-4pm nurseries, I'm afraid. Not that I am aware of. I felt the same re: nannies to be honest. I always worked before we moved here + my daughter was in daycare. I preferred this. Unfortunately, it just ... Read More

Hi Benjamin - I commented on another thread in the forum about daycare. There aren't any daycares that I'm aware of. For early education, lots of people send their children to Network School (British Curriculum). They're quite good. The hours are ... Read More

Hi, I realize this thread started some time ago, so hope the following information will not be irrelevant now. I haven't really noticed daycare centers here, per say. There are few international schools that offer pre-K and younger ages. Network ... Read More

Brainworks Total Learning Academy by LaraGF

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had heard of / know of the Brainworks Total learning Academcy? I am currently in talks with the HR guy and wanted to know a little bit more about them.... Are they reputable? Has anyone ever worked or knows of ...

Becky in Burma

Hi everyone, I hope I'm not too late adding input here. I actually don't know loads about Total Brainworks, but I do think that it may run off the Myanmar school calendar, not the international school calendar. April is the Buddhist New ... Read More
