I was in Yangon last year for business and it was quite nice. -I didn't bring any USD with me so I had to rely on ATM's at the Airport. Only 1 out of 3 was working so I got lucky. -My taxi from the airport to my office was 15000 kyat. A local colleague grabbing a taxi for me from the office back to the airport got the same ride for 8000 kyat so there is definitely room to haggle. -I did encounter a number of illiterate taxi drivers so my hotel reservation printed out in Burmese was useless. -There were no major chains like Starbucks, McDonalds so if you survive on those normally prepare for a rough stay. -Business wise people were quite similar to people in India. They would rather lie to you and promise you the impossible than say no. -The office building my company is in is owned by a Japanese company, so everyone except us was suffering in suits the whole time. On the plus side, Japanese robo toilets. -I went to a cocktail bar called the Blind Tiger and it was one of the best bars I have ever been. It closed down and reopened somewhere else in the mean time but if you like a good drink I would suggest you give it a go.
