Mingalaba! When you arrive in Myanmar, you’ll step into what was once known as the ‘Golden Land’ for its rich natural resources and lush paddy fields. It is also home to many Buddhist temples and pagodas. Your neighbours in Myanmar are known for their gentle, kind and hardworking nature, as well as for eating, not just drinking, tea!
