Though the country was ruled by military junta and once colonized by the British their culture remains intact. Clothes for example, I haven´t seen a single woman wearing a short skirt, they all wear full length skirts down to their feet..Plus, they´re perhaps the only Asians who still put tanaka powder on their face. Just some of my observations:) I also have to say they are one of the most hospitable and hard-working people I´ve ever met during my travels.

@Agness: Yeah, those call shops are one of the refreshing things that really remind you that Myanmar is still developing…. and then you hit the painfully slow internet. ha ha..

Never seen call shops like this. It’s not typical for SE Asia.

It hasn’t been in my to go list because of the lack of reliable internet connection, but I finally bought a ticket for next year. Can’t wait to see it for myself. 🙂
