Lifestyle

The traditional costume of the men and women of Myanmar is the Longyi. They also wear flip-flops. At the workplace, everyone wears this traditional costume. In social life, young people can wear casual clothes.
Myanmar is an agricultural country with a tropical climate. They thus have basic agricultural products resembling those of Vietnam. Rice is the main food for the people in Myanmar. Their food resembles that of Thai cuisine but has a fresher, more spicy and salty taste. If you make a Myanmar travel, you will see that Myanmar people usually eat with the right hand because the left hand is only used for the toilet.
Since the level of education is still modest, environmental pollution and the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in Myanmar are considered to be less severe than those in other countries of the region. As a result, products from agriculture and aquaculture such as vegetables or seafood are considered to be high-quality "clean food".
Children of Myanmar aged 9 to 13 are often sent to temples by parents during summer holidays to study the Buddhist teachings. At the age of 13, the monks will celebrate a ceremony of passage to adulthood. This great event is one of the interesting events in Burmese customs.

This is the same for students in schools. Lunches in Myanmar do not include wine, beer or alcoholic beverages.
In Burmese culture, there is also a practice of offering gifts. People visiting Burmese homes or offices will receive or offer gifts, which depends on the relationship between two sides. For this reason, Myanmar businessmen usually exchange gifts with their partners during a first meeting or when signing contracts.
When you make a Burma tours and visit temples, you will be invited to burn incense or offer flowers to the Buddha. In this case, some companies and foreign visitors give a sum of money to the temple managers or put it directly in the gift box. Monks will receive and celebrate a prayer of peace for the guests.
