Internet cafes
Internet cafes have proliferated in recent years and Yangon has quite a few that provide access at a reasonable speed for a reasonable price. Beware that you may be out of touch as the government has blocked most email sites yahoo, AOL, etc and gmail only works occasionally. Skype is currently March 2011 under threat from the government too. Many hotels also provide internet services but these tend to be more expensive and slower than the public cafes. The cheapest rate is around 400 kyats per hour - there are plenty of places so shop around and save some cash.
Cyber Cafe II
One of the best internet providers in all of Burma. Reasonably fast access.
Tokyo Donuts
A donut shop with a dozen terminals inside. Accessible USB ports and seems popular with locals. Free Wi-Fi.
Yangon's tap water is unsafe to drink. Always buy bottled water. Yangon's warm and humid weather makes it imperative to carry water around.
Tuberculosis and AIDS known as "A-I-D Five" among locals afflict a disproportionately high percentage of the people. However, HIV infection is not at the epidemic level infection rates are much less than 1%. In addition, there is a risk of dengue fever. Malaria is a risk in rural areas.
toilets
Many hotels, shopping centres, and restaurants offer toilets. However, aside from hotels, expect "squat toilets" throughout the city. Try to avoid the need to use public toilets at regularly visited sites, such as pagodas and temples.
medical care
Medical care is limited, but is most expedient at private medical clinics. Government hospitals are usually unreliable and require bribes. Do not seek medical care at the General Hospital on Bogyoke Aung San Road, sandwiched between Bo Ywe Street and Lanmadaw Street; it is unsanitary and inefficient. Most guest houses and hotels will be able to provide you with the address of a private doctor with experience in treating foreigners. Be sure to take the proper vaccinations before you leave for your trip. Carry a small first-aid kit with you containing at least painkillers, band-aid, ORS and a loperamide-like medicine. Anti-malarial pills and DEET are recommended.
