Personal highlights

  1. Burmese people: always smiling, generous and genuinely interested
  2. Burmese language: based on Sino-Tibetan, with some Indo-European
  3. Origins: migrated from Chinainfo-icon in the 7th century, with Indian influence
  4. Traditions: mostly Buddhists, celebrating festivities with music
  5. My experience: people being grateful and hospitable everywhere
