Contexte culturel
In Myanmar offices, 'Amyan Sone' is often used to bypass bureaucracy. If a document is marked with this, it moves to the top of the pile immediately. Taxi drivers in Yangon often hear 'Amyan Sone' from passengers trying to reach the airport. However, due to traffic, 'Amyan Sone' might still be slow! When hosting guests, a Burmese host might tell the kitchen 'Amyan Sone' to ensure guests aren't kept waiting, as making guests wait is seen as poor hospitality. On social media like Facebook (the main internet in Myanmar), 'Amyan Sone' is used in comments to ask for news updates or video uploads.
