Language
In Myanmar, most people speak Burmese (mya) language. When travelers visit, we use English to communicate with them. But not everyone is good at speaking English. So, when you go to a local market, it’s important to use body language to help you buy things.
Culture
Myanmar is known for its love of hot milk tea, unlike most of Southeast countries, their’s popular beverage is coffee or tea.
One of the amazing things about visiting temples in Myanmar is the compulsory practice of taking off your shoes before entering. This helps keep the sacred space clean and shows respect for the place of worship.
Another amazing thing you’ll notice in Myanmar is the use of thanaka, a natural paste made from tree bark, as a traditional way to protect skin from the sun’s harmful rays. This is a unique alternative to using sunscreen that’s been passed down through generations.
