Centres of pilgrimage, recreation, amusement
in Yangon bustling with holiday activities
YANGON, 12 Sept - The centres of pilgrimage,
recreation, amusement and shopping in Yangon were
seen bustling with activity today as it was a
Sunday, an office holiday. Myanmars being mostly
Buddhists, their free and leisurely time was used
with visits to pagodas, probably as a way of
getting away from the hustle and bustle of
working days coming before weekends. The most
popular centre of attraction was obviously the
Great Shwedagon Pagoda. Families, groups,
couples and individuals who wanted rest and
relaxation were seen at the People's Park and
People' s Square. Many, especially the young,
enjoyed themselves at amusement facilities
swimming pools, water slides, joy rides, and
games including video-games. Holiday-makers were
also found to be getting rest and recreation at
Yangon Zoological Gardens, Shukhintha Amusement
Park and Myakyuntha Amusement Park. Shoppers
were seen calling at department stores, market
plazas and stores downtown and also in the
suburbs.
