Published caption :A lacquerware merchant at Bogyoke Aungsan Market in central Yangon wraps a customer’s purchase. Known as Scott’s Market during the British colonial period, this is still a mecca for shoppers and souvenir-hunters. Here one can find everything from old coins, banknotes and postage stamps to jewellery made from local jade, rubies and other precious stones, art galleries, handicraft stalls and garment stores.
