A Taste of Yangon, Burma (Myanmar) - Burmese Street Food Video

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you for watching! I really think that respecting others and other cultures is the most important thing we can do when we travel.

[@MarkWiens]

Hello Naing, thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed this video. I had a great time in your country, very nice people and excellent street food!

[@MarkWiens]

Great to hear you'll be going back for a visit! I had an excellent time in your country, and thanks for welcoming me!!

[@jamiekaus1037]

Can't believe how much your channel has changed. And that man bun!

[@MarkWiens]

Hi Zaw, yes, Myanmar is an amazing place!

[@mrzwee7581]

oh yes

[@conadconad5906]

BRAVO! TIAMO!

[@dennisgiles8034]

I just happened to stumble across these old videos and I must say that I love these far more than the new one's! Something very Real and Down to Earth about them. Your reaction to the food comes with a little comedy side as well instead of the usual reaction with the eye roll that gets old.

[@MarkWiens]

I loved visiting your country, thank you for being so welcoming!

[@MarkWiens]

No problem, thank you for watching. Hope you have a great trip!

[@MarkWiens]

I appreciate it, thank you so much for watching and for your support!

[@MarkWiens]

Hi Sandi, thank you for watching and I hope you can go back for a visit soon!

[@rowenacalapuan4070]

Mark Wiens nice hair.

[@melodypar4890]

Hi Mark! It’s 2021 and I still enjoy watching your old blogs. Thanks for visiting Burma for foods! I’m from Burma, so it means so much to me. It’s also definitely nice to see how much you have improved over the years on filming! You’re AWESOME! Can’t stop watching your videos. (PS: I know wanna go to Thailand just for the food! Thanks to you 😅)

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed this, and so great to hear you'll be returning for a visit. I know you're going to have an awesome time eating all the wonderful food!

[@MarkWiens]

Hey G, thank you very much for watching and leaving a comment. I fully agree with you - and it's such an amazing county with incredible people (mostly), beautiful scenery, and great food. I hope you get the chance to visit again!

[@young-soonkim6730]

Thank you, Mark and Ying for bringing your videos. The Burma looks rich in history.

[@phillybigdoh]

I really prefer this type of blog... it really gives you the sense of travel... and not much production... IMHO

[@sannt.1632]

Mark, really impressed with all the Burmese songs. You have also grown tremendously from when you first started.

[@raionhato6299]

Who is watching low key, chill Mark in 2019?

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I had an incredible time visiting your country, I'd love to visit again sometime. Thanks again for watching!

[@sambit2901singh]

The one thing that always strikes me about Mark is his down to earth attitude...be it any setting, a street food stall, humble abode of someone's home or an upscale fine dining luxury restaurant...he is at ease, always willing to learn new things & respect the locals, their culture...this quality is probably whats makes him so popular & likeable...also a tad different from other food vloggers...so refreshing for those of us familiar with his work since last 4-5 years to check out this older video with his hippyish look & quieter mannerisms...👍

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much for your kind comment. I had an incredible time in your country and really enjoyed just hanging out and sampling all the wonderful food. Thank you for being so welcoming!

[@MarkWiens]

Thanks for watching! Glad to hear the prices are helpful.

[@MarkWiens]

No problem, thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

[@MarkWiens]

It's a lot of fun and such a wonderful experience to eat and try new things. Glad to hear you also enjoy trying new things!

[@MarkWiens]

Hey Terry, good to hear you have an interest in visiting as well. It's a beautiful country. I didn't have a problem with eating raw vegetables, but I only really drank bottled water. I would recommend drinking bottled water.

[@MarkWiens]

Hey there, thanks for watching! I'm not really sure if that's possible, you'd have to do a bit more border and road research, but that's a great idea, would be a lot of fun!

[@njabulohlongwana6215]

Man, I love your videos. first video I watched is the one when you were in Kenya, since then I learned to stay in cheap areas and eat good food for very low price. Thank you very much Sir.

[@MarkWiens]

Yes, I still have lots more Burmese food to try! I hope to make another trip in the future and be able to eat more of the delicious food. Thank you very much for watching this video!

[@MarkWiens]

It really is soo good, one of the best grilled fish ever!

[@MarkWiens]

@Malconomics Great to hear that! I wish you all the best for your trip back and let me know when you post a vid too - that will be great!

[@autopilotairborne]

Mark ... Was so different back then.. developed that signature wow... gesture, after any meal, over the period of years... So these were the earliest videos where it all started.. well done buddy.. we are with you.

[@theskepticalconspiracytheo9747]

Mark just showed that beneath the usual headlines of human rights abuses there's a beautiful country, people, food and culture waiting to be discover.

[@t.kingsgate7834]

Thanks for visiting this country and the way you have presented it will really make Burmese diaspora living abroad salivating.

[@MarkWiens]

@twinklestar2008 No problem, thanks for taking a look!

[@MarkWiens]

@losluvr As an American I had to pre-apply for a visa at the Myanmar embassy. It was an easy and worth it process. Thanks for checking out this video!

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@MarkWiens]

Great, thank you very much for watching!

[@Renegadeproject]

You really helped me to open up my eyes to travel through Asia, I am in Singapore right now and will visit KL for two days. I am travelling with my parents so I cannot move about as I want but still glad to be here.

[@MarkWiens]

You're welcome, I'm really glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!

[@chadohn-khin5831]

I miss Burma. now living in Perth Western Australia. I try to cook as much Burmese food as I can for my Aussie friends. Thank you Mark for wonderful mouth watering foods.

[@iamshexsay]

I am new to your channel and that is because I'm visiting Yangon soon.. then i found myself watching your other videos. You are living a great life, the life that i want to live. Great job!

[@TheJust22az]

There is a large number of refugees from Burma here in Phoenix. I volunteer my time helping the Karen in acclimating to our culture. Great people, great food.

Are the refugees buddisths?

[@MarkWiens]

@MrAchilles3 No problem, glad you liked it!

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you for watching Ye!

[@MarkWiens]

@trayectozero You're welcome, I really appreciate you checking it out!

[@skyh2k]

The best thing in life, going to different area in the world and eating everything that pleases your eyes. Great Video!

[@dharmpal7198]

47th Mark Wiens Video. In quarantine I have started watching Mark Wiens video. Watching from the start. Let's conquer!!

[@MarkWiens]

@kyaw888 No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

[@JasonRuppVlog]

I love this video on Myanmar street food. Love it. I want to eat it all.

[@MarkWiens]

Yes, many locals speak English, so I found it quite easy to get around and communicate. It's really a great country!

[@MarkWiens]

@banfielddavid Hi David, Thanks so much for watching the video! That's awesome that you are taking a trip to Myanmar soon, I really enjoyed my time. Wow - 2 years, that's going to be an incredible experience. The big fish I ate was on one of the main streets in Chinatown, not sure exactly what street, but you'll see the fish from the main road. From that street you walk about 50 meters down the road to the restaurant I ate at. Awesome fish!

[@emm_1004]

OMG....the intro with myanmar song! 😁 So nice to find out that you also came to our country! Hopefully you can visit again. 😀 I become a fan of your blog during these days! As watching you eat all kinds of foods, also feel like I'm tasting them! 😅 Thank you for all efforts! 🙏🌻

[@MarkWiens]

Ok, great to hear you've visited!

[@maxvanleeuwen1273]

Wow, your older videos are much more casual in presentation :). But I enjoyed it.

[@family_al-talqani]

Crazy how long that this has been on KZbin and how much you have grown ♥️

[@MarkWiens]

Haha, that's hilarious - glad you made some food in the middle of the night! Thanks for watching!

[@joanna18lira]

My boyfriend and I are watching your travel vlogs!! Amazing how much your videos have improved over the years. :)

[@MarkWiens]

@Thurariya You are welcome - Thanks for watching. I'm sure you are a great cook of Burmese food!!!

[@MarkWiens]

Fantastic to hear that, have a great time visiting and eating!

[@sarcoidosis7271]

Myanmar has developed so much in the past few years. Roads are cleaner, buildings are bigger, transportation is so much easier and most importantly, people are much more advanced and well cultured. I would highly recommend visiting Myanmar whoever is planning to come and is researching through this video. Oh btw, don't be scared of the corruption or anything. The government has changed to democracy and it is 100% safe to visit. I was watching this video because I miss Burma so much.

@makeupbyshu I haven't had a chance to visit more than just Yangon. I would love to return someday and travel further. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@MarkWiens]

@TheCrazydionne Hey, thanks a lot for checking it out. No, just made this video all by myself after spending a few weeks in Yangon. On the street I just asked a seller for Burmese music - and this is what he gave me. I then just picked a song that fit! Thanks again!

[@MarkWiens]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

[@MarkWiens]

Cool, thanks for watching!

[@MarkWiens]

Good to hear that, so do I!

[@cindyyzk]

Thank you for posing the video. And thank you for loving our Burma. You've been tasted almost all kinds of my favorite foods. I like MonHinHka the most.

[@Getreadytofight-p9c]

Mark has come a long way... Wow.. most people who commented their channels are already gone. The comment section is filled with Mark's reply only. 😂😂😂

[@MarkWiens]

You should visit man, for myself I felt safe and met many amazing people during my visit!

[@gothamhandley9867]

I loved how u ended it with "THE END" - I CRACKED UP ! You definately have grown and become more comfortable- I binge watched u all day yesterday- and today, it seems I am doing it again- finding these old gems.. 😁

[@MarkWiens]

Hello Adman, thank you very much, I would love to visit again. Yes, I haven't tried nearly everything, and I would love to come back to eat more. Thank you for your kind welcome!

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much for watching and for your kind invitation to return again. I would love to visit again. You food is amazing, and I met so many kind people when I was there. What part of Burma are you from? Yangon? Where are you studying now?

[@MarkWiens]

@sarabapa Yes, hope you get a chance to visit soon!

[@sovannpath5493]

You should go back! Would love to see and know more about Burmese food& culture

[@MarkWiens]

[@MarkWiens]

[@MarkWiens]

Great, thanks for watching it!

[@AA-th2ku]

Anyone watching this in Mar 2019? :) Mark I love your videos!!!

[@amyanmar2006]

Thank u is not enough for ur effort. My Fav City. Hope u enjoyed Burmese foods and our culture.

[@tinzarlwin1579]

Hi Mark, I really appreciate your great trip to my homeland Myanmar. Really glad to see you what all you ate there and taste with different Myanmar foods. I feel that I am with you in Myanmar. Seem that you have a wonderful time visited in our great famous Shwedagon Pagoda, which is also one of famous and remarkebale Pagoda in South East Asia. Hope you really enjoy and great wonderful nice time there.

[@lanlaymt]

Thx for the video. I miss the street food and it is really nice to see inside the city without censor.

[@JenzoVR]

@migrationology my uncle is Burmese and he has been promising to take me to Yangon since I was 14. I'm really eager to go to Yangon and experience culture and food aswell as seeing my friends, my bf, my uncles family and using my language skills. Thanks for the video it really helps out a lot. :)

[@MarkWiens]

Great, thank you for the suggestions. I hope to return again for a visit!

[@ashimabdul]

You are awesome Mark. Comparing this video with your latest video, you have come a long way with so much dedication. Kudos to you boy 🙂

[@MarkWiens]

@sweetychenshin Haha, no problem - I had a great time in Yangon and a great time eating and taking this video! Thanks for watching!

[@MarkWiens]

They are all so delicious. Are you from Myanmar?

[@MarkWiens]

You're welcome, thank you for watching!

[@MarkWiens]

@TheChoasking90 Thanks a lot for watching! I'm 1/2 Chinese.

[@MarkWiens]

Cool, thanks Malcolm, will check them out!

[@murlthomas70]

I really enjoy these early vlogs. It’s nice to know you haven’t always been so polished in languages and presentation. I miss seeing Ying and Micah, though.

[@MarkWiens]

@minthagyi No problem, I really did like everything I tasted! I'm a huge fan of all food and I really like diverse cuisine. Thanks for watching!

[@MarkWiens]

Hi Quynh, I really enjoy traveling. Do you also enjoy traveling?

[@soithai6414]

Hi Mark, Welcome again to Myanmar. Thing would different before and current. People of here love tourist who visited their country and enjoy the foods. Burma is like hidden gem and still need to find out. According the video, you really went through shop by shop. Vendor by Vendors. You Chosen a good Burmese song sung by Saung Oo Hlaing and another female and the song title is " ah Lan moe '' . Hey you looks great with this hairs style and yeah that was 7 years ago. time flies!

[@MarkWiens]

@LUCIFERFLAME No problem, thanks for watching!

[@fuzzperoni]

Wow ! A young Mr Weins !!!hahaa Good stuff!! You seem more chilled out and gangster!! Interesting to see how you have changed!! And become old and stressed out !! hehehe !!! Good stuff dude !!!

[@blessyjoson6458]

mark wiens very young🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@vincepham2997]

Definitely a young more gangsterish Mark Wiens hahaha I love his image! He had that gangster ponytail thing going lol

[@amyrivers9792]

I don't think Mark looks old and stressed out in any of his videos. He is one of the most relaxed,natural presenter on KZbin. Both he and Ying are very relaxed and so is their little boy Micah. Micah's calm, relaxed attitude comes directly from Mark and Ying. They are wonderful parents and I can never stop praising the people they are, how they relate to many different cultures and how show a lot of respect to all people, cultures and countries.

[@MarkWiens]

@TigressforHukawng Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed the video. Not sure what the songs are though... I think someone else will know. Thanks again!

[@SteveMcGarrigle]

This is making me so hungry watching this.

[@MarkWiens]

Ok, cool to hear that. I really enjoyed visiting!
