Dear Trish,
Yangon summer is very hot and humid. In Yangon, the rain is torrential and the pavements vanish. The traffic jam is the worst and be prepared for cultural differences.
The Real Fitness and The Balance Fitness is well known but no pool. It will cost $80 to $100/month and pay quarterly in advance. I recommend the American Club. The entire family to join is $600/year plus deposit. Pay yearly in advance for the first year only and they have full size pool. Please google the detail location.
I don't think you will ever ride the bus nor train here. The taxis are everywhere and relatively inexpensive. You must bargain.
There are one cycling group in Yagon formed among expats and not sure about the local participants. There are sizable expats community here and growing. They are very helpful, informative and easy to make friends with. Please explore by joining Inter Nations Website. They arrange monthly networking event in Yangon and going on trips sometimes. It's useful join YECGROUP on Google.
Lots of NGO's and Small and Medium Enterprises and some major Coporations in Yangon now. Depend on your experience and qualification, you will enable to find some job sooner or later. May be teaching job. Lots foreign schools and local own English School.
Real Estate rental is expensive compare to Thailand, Vietnam, Laos etc...
Should you have more question, please don't hesitate to email me at info.aktrealty@gmail.com.
Best regards,
Winston Paing
