What kind of country is Myanmar? What are the precautions for coming here for the first time?

Myanmar is a country with more women than men. The first thing to note is:

Myanmar is a country with more women than men, and it doesn't need much bride price to get married, so many China men go to Myanmar to find wives. There are many domestic mobile phone shops in Myanmar, which sell some China brand mobile phones.

Is it really that easy for China people to find wives in Myanmar?

Many girls in Myanmar are really kind and virtuous, and there are more women than men in Myanmar, so many men in China want to go to Myanmar to get a wife. In fact, it is not so easy to find a wife in Myanmar. If you want to find a wife in a short time, it is basically impossible, because many Burmese girls will think you are a liar.

If you have a stable job in Myanmar, or do business in Myanmar, you can get to know some Burmese girls slowly. After a long period of mutual understanding and communication, you may really find a wife.

Eating habits in Myanmar

The development of Myanmar is a backward country in Southeast Asia. The average salary of Burmese people can only be more than RMB 1000 a month, so some prices in Myanmar are particularly low, especially vegetables and fruits are very cheap.

Burmese people also eat rice as their staple food, sometimes with some curry and some local coconut milk, so the whole taste is very strange. Burmese people like to add a special sour fish sauce to meat and then mix it with rice to eat. The locals think it's delicious, but I feel a pungent sour taste when I eat it.

There are also many fast food vendors on the streets of Myanmar. Usually, one serving of rice, one serving of vegetarian dishes and two serving of meat dishes add up to only about 8 yuan. The price can be said to be very affordable, but some people who just went to China are not used to it. If you go to some restaurants in Myanmar and order some local specialties, two people can eat very full for 50 yuan.

There are also many Chinese restaurants and western restaurants in Myanmar, but the consumption there is quite high, which is at least 5 to 6 times more expensive than the local food in Myanmar. Burmese people don't like drinking tea very much, but they will soak tea in salt water, add shredded radish, peanuts, shrimps and shredded papaya to make local specialty salads. Burmese people like this salad very much, but it tastes salty, so they usually eat it with rice.

There are many fried snacks on some streets in Myanmar. Burmese people especially like to eat fried food. For them, anything can be fried. But I bought it once, and I haven't bought it since I finished eating it, because the smell of that oil is really unbearable and I have used it many times.

Housing in Myanmar

In some suburbs and rural areas of Myanmar, there are thatched huts and simple houses built at will, which are also the basic housing for many ordinary Burmese. The materials for building a house are very simple, usually some thatched bamboo and iron sheets. Burmese people usually build houses by water because living is very convenient.

Sometimes there are many wooden stakes under the house. The purpose of this is to prevent snakes, insects, mice and ants, and reduce humidity. However, this kind of thatched cottage is usually very small, and only one bed and some daily necessities can be put in it, which is enough for Burmese people, because cooking and washing clothes can be done outdoors, and indoors is used for sleeping.

Although there are many such simple thatched houses in the suburbs and rural areas of Myanmar, the housing prices in some big cities in Myanmar are not low. For example, in Yangon, Myanmar, the house price was about RMB 30,000 per square meter a few years ago, but now it is more expensive. In some ordinary cities, the house price should be around 4000 square meters. Because the wages of ordinary Burmese are very low, many people can't afford to buy a house, so they can only choose to build this simple thatched house by the river. And many Burmese people have lived in this thatched cottage for generations.

Myanmar people's favorite means of transportation

In China, you can see cars and electric cars everywhere. In Myanmar, there are few families with cars, but many families in Myanmar have motorcycles. For ordinary Burmese, motorcycles are the first choice for commuting, carrying passengers or moving things.

There are many shops selling motorcycle repair parts in Myanmar, and many motorcycles are imported from China. In the eyes of Burmese, motorcycles made in China are very powerful and affordable, so many people will choose to buy motorcycles from China.

Myanmar's traditional costumes

Speaking of Burmese clothes, we have to say that Myanmar's traditional dress "tube skirt" is a piece of cloth 4.5 feet long and 5 feet wide. Just tie the whole cloth around your waist and tie a knot. There is a difference between a man tying a knot in the middle of your waist and a woman tying a knot sideways.

The tube skirt worn by women is called "sensitive". The colors are very bright, and they usually choose long ones, which can make them slim. The style of the skirt worn by men is much simpler, usually dark. I wore it once when I was in Myanmar. Although I feel particularly uncomfortable when I wear it for the first time, wearing a skirt is particularly cool, especially with a pair of sandals and slippers.

When you go to Myanmar for the first time, you need to pay attention to the following points.

1. Don't bring too much cash when traveling to Myanmar. It is convenient to pay by ATM or mobile phone, so don't expose your money casually. Although Myanmar looks safe, it is better to be careful.

2. Try not to go to North Myanmar, because many ethnic minorities are allowed to carry guns in North Myanmar, where robberies often occur, so try not to go to North Myanmar.

3. When taking a bus in Myanmar, try not to sit with local women or sit side by side with some monks, because this is a bad behavior.

4. Don't touch the local people's heads in Myanmar. In the eyes of Burmese, the head is the noblest place for people. If you are easily touched by others, your dignity has been violated by others.

Take your passport and some personal documents with you, because some places need to show your passport at any time, so you must keep it well. If you lose it, it will be very troublesome.

Although the development of Myanmar is still in a backward stage compared with several neighboring countries, it has been developing continuously in recent years and I believe it will get better and better. During my stay in Myanmar, I felt that the Burmese people were particularly enthusiastic and a country that paid great attention to etiquette. When you have time, you can travel to Myanmar and feel the exotic customs of Myanmar.
