Hello my loving Asean Hive community
Today I went to a place to visit in my town. This place is very famous in our town. There is also a park, as well as market stalls, playgrounds, and food stalls. This place is called 'Mingalar Muse'. ‘Mingalar’ means a word used by Burmese people to greet. Muse is the name of the town where I live. There is a place like this in Mandalay. These place is called ‘Mindalar Mandalay’. 'Mingalar Muse' also occasionally hosts a children's book festival and some entertainment. Admission is free for all. I have not been here for about a year. The Covid-19 situation was so bad in our city last year that I did not go anywhere. Every Christmas, a big Christmas tree is decorated there. So, I went there today to take a picture with a Christmas tree. I even wore a Christmas Sweater today. But I did not see the big Christmas tree like in previous years.
Outside there is a playground and a parking lot for motorbikes and cars, as shown in the picture. It is also decorated with trees. There are also many street food restaurants outside. The foods at these restaurants are very tasty and the price is cheap. I'm going to go inside ‘Mingalar Muse’, so I decided to buy some snack when I get back.
As you enter the ‘Mingalar Muse’, you will see the screen as shown above. This place is also known as the Walking Market. After walking for about 5 minutes, I saw what I show in the second picture. These days, there is a Shan New Year in the state where I live. However, due to the political situation in our country, many events have been canceled. The second picture shows a decoration made for a photo shoot for the Shan New Year. In the picture, the red girl is wearing a Shan dress. The peacock-shaped pattern on the back of the shirt is what is used in a traditional Shan dance. I do not know what to call it in English.
The outside of the ‘Mingalar Muse’ is decorated with plants and the inside is decorated with flower pots. Some bonsai plants are also included. There are also mini coffee shops and mini restaurants. In the past, there were always a lot of people here. However, due to the political situation my country and Covid-19, there are not many people there.
I bought three glasses of juice from a mini juice shop. For my friend, my brother and me. A glass of that juice costs about $ 1.
I got out of there and bought some food from a street food restaurant. I also bought some snack for my brother. Then my friend and I ate at my house and played guitar together.
I told my friend I wanted to make a video about where I went today. So, my friend helped me a lot to make a video. And we also took some friendship pictures.
