[SPECIAL REPORT] Asylum-seekers create Myanmartown from scratch in Bupyeong
Bupyeong, INCHEON - Bupyeong District in Incheon, west of Seoul, may be best known for its huge underground shopping center and vibrant nightlife. But off the main street near exit 5 of Bupyeong Station are hidden several restaurants and grocery stores with colorful signs written in Burmese. In this small yet bustling “Myanmartown,” it is common to see groups of Southeast Asian people heading to restaurants looking for a taste of home.Among the restaurants is “Mingalarpar,” which means “hello” in Burmese, run by Win Lay, 50. “Any Myanmarese person would feel at home here in Bupyeong,” he said. “Burmese workers who live across the country gather here every weekend to meet their friends and enjoy authentic Burmese dishes.”
