A Real, Unfiltered Look at Myanmar | Episode 2

[@NikiProshin]

Thank you for your support 🙏 More videos coming soon: from Vietnam, Malaysia, India, Oman, UAE (possibly) and Georgia! Don't forget to like and subscribe, this alone means a lot for me ❤

[@timelordmagnums357]

Hey Niki good to see you. Peace from Greensboro North Carolina :)

[@mtha7796]

Thanks for showing that there is also no war zone in Myanmar. And Bamars needs to stop playing the victim. It's Rohingyas who need help the most.

[@justaguy6100]

Myanmar has had a tragic experience. I hope the people prevail. Your friend is stunning, btw.

[@importedvixen]

Will be in Azerbaijan in February You are very welcome to contact me if in that area👍

[@blargvlarg1390]

Uugghh... As Burmese myself, these kinds of videos always make me uncomfortable. Look, $100 is a lot of money for us. Heck, a hearty breakfast for me can be had with just about $1. And yet, with the turmoil all around the country, prices rise astronomically while our pay remain stagnant. The government may even arrest your employers if they dare, I mean, DARE to give you raises because their incompetence might get exposed. Realise the fact that many of us now earn about 3 dollars, if not less than a dollar, a day, and these "$100 in Burma" type videos are just... very saddening for us.

[@NikiProshin]

Yes, that's what I learned during my stay in Yangon. I hope this situation will change someday sooner.

[@olliestudio45]

My impression also. Very poor choice of title.

[@tommycscat]

I'm sorry you have to endure hardships in your life related to government instability. I truly hope things turn around for you and your country. That being said, videos like these are extremely important to bring awareness to the rest of the world about what's happening with your currency. When more people know that the general population there are victims of their own government's financial warfare, more pressure gets put on international leaders to intervene

[@tommycscat]

Granted, the primary motivation for international intervene would be financial. Corporations with political sway want your money. In order to get your money, you need to have money and your government can't be suppressing your ability to build enough wealth to engage with the international economy. Yes, mega-rich mega corporations want more money. What else is new? However, said corporations' quest for your money depends on your financial situation improving. Hopefully something like this, another intervention, or a combination of interventions can improve your quality of life

[@telestruct]

I hope the dawn of freedom will be revealed soon. The people of Myanmar are the most hospitable, humble, and kindest people you may encounter, and they deserve to live in dignity and peace!

[@mtha7796]

look at what they do to Rohingyas. Their lack of kindness is the reason they have civil war going on for over 70 years.

[@agentak7193]

@@mtha7796 rn the military are capturing rohingyas and forcin them to train in military. Some ran but did not make it.

[@heinphone3535]

@@mtha7796 First of all that was done by the military and those Rohingyas also fought with native Arakans. They supported Islamic rebels who were trying to break away from not just the union of Burma but also from the Arakan state. Even tho some of them were from the colonial period most came from Bangladesh in the Pakistan-Bangladesh war and refused to leave. Their population also boomed and mostly lived on government funds.I don't believe the genocide is the solution but don't let them fool you as they are the victim . And Myanmar is a multi-ethnical country which has lots of internal conflicts so spreading misinformation is not acceptable.

[@mtha7796]

@@heinphone3535 Rohingyas are not active rebels compared to other groups and that's not the reason you won't give citizenship to them. Very little incidents done by Rohingyas and took place after the genocide event during Suu Kyi rule. Because that's where they started gaining support from other Islamic connection.

thank you brother! Appreciate your kind words! Hope to catch up with you in Yangon - or anywhere else soon! Thank you for your support as well!! Together stronger for Myanmar!!

[@777nydia1]

Great seeing you doing this stuff, Nikki. Your Austrian friend Johanne is an inspiration. I was here in 1979 and I thought the Burmese the best people in Asia. Despite the problems. Loved the video!

[@LizafromWhere]

I have a whole playlist on Jochen and Sonne and I'm happy I introduced Nikki to him as Niki has a huge channel so I appreciate the help to raise awareness.

[@777nydia1]

@MissLizaYangonMyanmar Yes, Nikki is a born commentator and a genuinely nice guy. So glad he got out of Russia when he did and is doing this good stuff in Asia.

[@Sepia36912]

Your videos are better and better. ❤

[@ZhongZhong-qo2rs]

As well, I live in Malaysia, I am Burmese, I feel sad for Aung San Suu Kyi and they are many people that suffer, Even my grandparents, they don't had nothing to eat, just fish or rice. And I pray for Myanmar and my grandparents and how much people suffering from Myanmar and the War is unrespectful for the grandparents or kids, Many Kids got bombed by the war and the poor babies too.And houses burn down or exploded. I always pray for Myanmar.

[@stankythecat6735]

Oh my god ! She is soooo cute ! I’m happy for you

[@thethtarsan8672]

thank you for this video. As a Myanmar who has been abroad for 3 years, this video reminds me of our people, our culture, and every memory of Yangon. Miss my family , too

[@Richard_S-j9x]

Niki glad to see once again you are posting videos

[@raymize4248]

Great to see you, Niki! I love the school your friend is supporting for underprivileged kids.

[@NikiProshin]

Yeah, Jochen is doing a big thing there

[@monganoton]

I was in Myanmar a few years ago and it is a fantastic country. The people was nice and the nature was beatuiful. I hope that the country runs better in the future! It is sad to see that food is expansive now and the people cant buy it anonymore. .

The video quality is great, also I think this is the happiest I've seen Niki in his videos!

[@LisaAxford]

Niki, I think your big dream is showing people all over the world everyday life in places they may never be able to see! I appreciate that and hope you continue to share global lives with us.

[@NikiProshin]

Thank you Lisa! I definitely enjoy sharing stories about different ways of life to people around me, both online and offline.

[@catboy721]

Nikki - your editing tricks are getting soooo sophisticated. Love it. Given the economy, the owner of your apartment must be extremely wealthy.

[@the_hta]

As a person who is not from Yangon, both of your videos took me to some new experiences which we can't see in other cities in Myanamar. The main difference between Yangon and other cities in Myanmar is, I think, the public transportation and crowd in public locations.

[@claudecontini6829]

Bravo Niki! Nice vedeo! Keep going! 👍

[@JungleJimAB9AB]

This is one of your better videos. It is unique in telling the story of every-day life in a less-traveled country. You report your experience in an informative and entertaining way.

[@fdm2155]

A friend taught in Myanmar maybe 15 years ago. She spent 2 or 3 years off and on living and teaching there. Your experience reminds me very much of her stories from her time there.

[@davidsixtwo]

I got to travel across Myanmar from Thailand to India in 2019, it's terribly sad to see how the security situation has collapsed. I hope for peace and democracy for people there.

[@fayepotts3279]

Thank you Niki for your honest presentation of this video. People there should be thankful that you are helping them by letting others know what it’s really like for the foreigners as well as for the citizens of that country. It helps the rest of the world reach out and see how they can help.

[@paelzermaedche-px4qd]

Thank you Niki and Jochen. This is so very interesting. Myanmar, I remember growing up and learning in school about the 3 countries. Burma, Celebes and Java. All these are the old names from years ago. I probably missed some videos from you because we had a terrible hurricane in the Southeast USA, so I have a lot of catching up to do because we did not have electricity for over a week. I'm so glad you have a "girlfriend" again and she is very pretty.

[@Islandlifefornow]

What a great place! I hope you the best in Myanmar. It looks like another wonderful journey. Keep it up! 🤙

[@JocheninMyanmar]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I came here in 2012 and had the chance to enjoy all the good times - so it's the least I can do now, to be stay here, in the country and with the people I love, and helping those who need it the most. It's not much, but at least for those we can reach, we can make an impact, look after their health and education! I wish I could do more.

Lucky Seven Restaurant is a really good restaurant, every Waiter is very polite and Humble, you can make jokes with them and they would laugh but not sure if they would understand English.The one you went to in the video was the usual place I visit for breakfast. Despite the fact that you can easily cook, ပဲပြုတ် ထမင်း ဆီဆမ်း and chicken curry with mohinga soup is one of the best meals i can eat for a breakfast in Lucky Seven.

Question. Would you say that Nikki is only providing fuel for the Junta's economy by visiting its stronghold? I'm not asking because I'm judging per se, but I live in Thailand and I won't visit Myanmar because I feel my visa fee and any taxes I pay are buying more stuff for the junta. what are your thoughts as a local?

@@rsweeneydhl Yes. Same opinion for me currently in Thailand. Yangon is perfectly safe for tourists, but is not Myanmar. Why do you think so many young people are fleeing?

Some famous places in Yangon: M tower, Lotte hotel, The Central, Myanmar plaza, Time city, star city, 68 residence, Sule Shangrila, Sakura tower, Golden city condo, Pullman hotel, Pan pacific, etc... There are several KFCs, Pizza huts, Gloria Jean coffee, Krispy Kremes, Uncle Tetsu, Marry Browns, etc... You can rent a decent apartment in Ok+ neighborhood in YGN for 100$ per month. You can eat out at decent place for 100 times.

[@JocheninMyanmar]

an apartment for 100$ (for a foreigner) is probably not very decent - especially now the housing/rental prices soared - as many people (who can afford it) from areas like Sittwe, Lashio, Mandalay move to Yangon (which is relatively safe) - so rental properties are in very high demand.

[@jj-if6it]

That accommodation is so cool
