COUNTRY - MYANMAR
Myanmar is hoping to have the largest culture Country in South-East Asia. However, only few had travel experiences in this land.

It is found with 7 states and 7 divisions. 135 different national races are living together with its union spirit.

Myanmar is a land of pagodas, fantastic beauty, exotic fauna and flora, an ancient culture, spectacular scenery. It is an ideal destination for the person who beasts that he has been there, seen that and done that

At the North part of country we could see the snow-capped mountains in Kachin State, across the sweeping central plains on to the ocean-swept shores at the Southern tip.

Myanmar is a country here religion, customs and traditions have weathered the storms of time. People still carry out rites and ceremonies..

Whichever ethnic region you may visit, the people live in age-old ways. However, time for tradition is time for tradition: custom is custom.

Myanmar religious festivals are being held every month. People across the country celebrate them reverently.

The devotion to religion may be seen in the ubiquitous pagodas across the country. The ancient and old lovingly refurbished and maintained while new ones are dedicated.

Myanmar is located between Bangladesh and Thailand, with China to the north and India to the north-west, with coastline on the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea. The country has a total area of 678,500 square kilometres (261,970 miČ), of which almost half is forest or woodland.

In the north, the Hengduan Shan mountains form the border with China. The fertile plains of the Ayeyarwady and Thanlwin Rivers are in the central lowlands of Myanmar. Most of the country's population lives in this central lowland. The Shan Plateau lies east of Mandalay. In the south, the Ayeyarwady River fans out into a wide and fertile delta. Many crops are grown in this region, which borders the Andaman Sea. The Gulf of Martaban also indents the southern coast of Myanmar. It drains into the Andaman Sea.

Although a diverse range of indigenous cultures exist in Myanmar, the dominant culture is primarily Buddhist and Bamar. Bamar culture has been influenced by the cultures of neighbouring China, India, and Thailand. This is reflected in various aspects of its language, cuisine, music, dance and theatre. The arts, particularly literature, have historically been influenced by the Burmese form of Theravada Buddhism. Buddhism is practised along with nat worship which involves elaborate rituals to propitiate one of a pantheon of 37 Nats.

In a traditional Burmese village, there is at least one monastery and monks are venerated and supported by the lay people. The majority of Burmese monks reside in Mandalay Division and Sagaing Division. A novitiation ceremony called shinbyu is the most important coming of age event for a boy when he enters the monastery for a short while and the happiest moment in life of his proud parents. His sisters may have an ear-piercing ceremony (na htwin) at the same time. Burmese culture is most evident in villages where local festivals are held throughout the year, the most important being the pagoda festival (hpaya pwe). Many villages have a guardian nat, and superstition and taboos are commonplace in Burmese life.

British colonial rule also introduced Western elements of culture to Myanmar. Myanmar's educational system is modelled after that of Great Britain, and colonial architectural influences are most evident in cities such as Yangon and Mawlamyine. Many ethnic minorities, particularly the Kachin and Chin who populate the north and the northwest practice Christianity, a result of Western missionary work in the area.

Burmese, which is linguistically related to Tibetan and to the family of Chinese languages, is written in a script consisting of circular and semi-circular letters adapted from the Mon script which originated from southern India. The language incorporates widespread usage of honorifics and is age-oriented. Burmese society, from historical times to the present-day, has stressed the importance of education. Literacy in Myanmar is considered important for interpreting religious texts of Theravada Buddhism.
