JJ City CLUB

(Mingala Zei, Set Yone Rd, Mingalar Taung Nyunt; entrance K3000; 8pm-2am) Just your typic-
al, bog-standard wet market by day, multistorey entertainment complex by night… Enter
lifts stained with betel spit to emerge at JJ, ostensibly a disco. Most appear to come for

drink.

(330 Ahlone Rd, Yangon International Hotel Complex, Dagon; admission K6000; 7pm-3am) This
disco sees a relative mix of people, from upper-class locals to profit-seeking 'dancing
girls'. Like other clubs in Yangon, it's similar to your first school dance: a handful of

At the same location there are also dance parties held at the smaller venue MBox
