| “Starting from the third week of
November, highway bus fares have been reduced to K24 per mile
for air-con buses, from the rate of K26 a mile in September,

on to local rubber growers and distributors,” |
|
| |
| |
 “Sales
have been falling for the past two or three years. Sales in

| “Because they
read beauty-related stories in magazines,
Myanmar people are more aware of aesthetic
surgery than they used to be. But compared
with other countries, Myanmar people are
not so beauty-conscious. Among the Asian
countries, Thailand is first, and the
second is Korea,” |

| |
| |
| “We also set
up solar-powered LED lighting in every
household. We hope these facilities will
bring great improvements to the living
condition of the villagers,” |
|
| |
| |
 “Interest
in properties in the Shwe Pin Lon housing
project in North Dagon township has increased
since April and May this year. In my opinion
this is because families can have a large
compound at a cheaper price than near
the downtown area, while still being close
to an acceptable transportation system,”

| |
| CONSTRUCTION will
begin in early 2009 on the three-tower
“Zawgyi Complex” in Yangon’s
Lanmadaw township, the project’s
principal architect said last week. The

HOUSE OF THE WEEK |
|
 The
pleasant exterior flows inside this two-storey,
three-bedroom house thanks to large windows
in the living room that look out over
the compound.
Naturally, parquet floor is the norm throughout

 “The
fans’ support was very important for the
players’ morale, it helped them play with
confidence but they also were tactically good,”

“WiMax uses transmitters, like cell-phone

doesn’t require line-of-sight to the users

the coverage area,”

innovations, transport, energy and environment.
It will have an impact on trade evidently but
with the stimulus package and trade negotiations,
we hope to minimise that effect,” |

they will make money. Some ask about family
affairs or their work,”
|
|

|
 “I
would like Myanmar people to play with Myanmar

some people know about blocks playing and some
pre-schools have a few sets of building blocks,”
