How to have a wonderful Myanmar adventure tour? The very first thing is to prepare carefully. This writing will help you prepare good information for your Myanmar trip.
1.Myanmar
Myanmar(Burma) is the name of Myanmar. How is the different of these two names?
Mianmar is used by EU and WTO and many local people. This is believed from Brahmadesh, which means the land of Brahma.
Burma is used by USA, Australia, Ailen and England. EU also use this name for Myanmar. Many Myanmar just use this name because they do not accept the change of their country’s policy.
2. Naming
When a baby is born in Myanmar, they do not use family name for the baby. The newborn will be named after his birthday. In Myanmar, 7 days of the week are symbolized for 7 mascots suc as elephants, rabbits, snakes, rats.
When calling somebody, Myanmar people will use an article to show the gender, position and age of him. Mao is used for childen and teenagers, gua is used for the same age/ positon. U is used for uncle, aunts. Daw is used for women.
There is one interesting is that Myanmar people do not use many words for naming. So during your private Myanmar tour, you need to ask carefully when wanting to find somebody.
3. Getting married
If a couple want to live with each other forever, they have to find a businessman or an officer to help them in their wedding. The people chosen must have a happy life with wife and husband, have both son and daughter in life. This is to help the new couple to have a great long life and be happy forever.
One special thing is that traditional music is used during the wedding. If you are invited to a Myanmar wedding, you can enjoy their beautiful songs and give them nice gifts or money. These gifts are put at the center of the wedding area.
Myanmar supports for one wife on husband trend, and a couple can have as many as children as they want. This is quite different from Vietnam, where a couple should have only 1 or 2 children instead. You can get a Vietnam Myanmar tour to discover more and more.
4.Funeral
Funeral in Myanmar is simple. Myanmar host will invite someboday to pray for the death and then continue cremation. The important thing to remember is that in Myanmar, comers do not give money but gifts such as clothes, hat for the host in their funeral. You can not see cemeteries here. That is very good!
5. Traffic
One thing you need to note in your Myanmar dventure tour is about traffic. In the past, Myanmar use traffic law like English, it meaned you have to go on the left side. But now, this country allows people to travel both side: right and left.
