Amazing PC is one of the most popular public internet access center in Mawlamyine located on the top floor of the Myine Yadanar Centre Shopping Complex beside Upper Zeigyi market. "Amazing PC" has 14 terminals with new flat screen LCD monitors with rates at 500 kyats an hour. The computer systems here are well maintained, however do take care, as with any public access Internet centres, viruses and worms are common place so be careful if you're using a pen drive/USB key to transfer photos and the like to emails. Your pen drive will most likely get infected requiring a virus scan once you have it docked back on your laptop."Amazing PC" opens at 9am and closes when the MYC shopping center building closes at 6pm. Access to the centre is easiest via the southern entrance of the MYC building. From this entrance, go up the stairs to the top floor.

This place is quite popular not just amongst the wired younger generation for chatting and accessing social networking websites, but for oldies too who tend to use it to keep in touch with family members working overseas or reading up on news from abroad. Skype amongst other voice-over-ip systems are quite popular amongst the locals, as is other Internet telephone software. Some terminals are well equipped with web cams to enable video conferencing, however the Internet in this part of the world can be painfully slow so video conferencing, although well intentioned, may not work that well.The best time for accessing the Internet is usually early in the morning or late in the evening.

Note that this place is also popular amongst the Mawlamyine youth for playing network games. Although the gaming area is partitioned from the Internet access area, the game warriors can be quite noisy at times. Don't be afraid to point this out to the friendly attendants if it bothers you.
