Chapter 527: Burmese Specialties

It's still very good to look at, and it's good to see that you're in a good mood.

"That's it for today, let's go back and rest, and tomorrow we will go and buy some of the specialties of Myanmar. Thayer said.

"Okay, thank you Thayer for the introduction!" Zhou Sen thanked him.

Zhou Sen also thanked the flower farmer for the introduction, and the flower farmer smiled and saluted, and then left.

Thayer took everyone back to the hotel, ate and rested early.

Everyone rested for a night, and the next day, Thayer came and took everyone to buy some Burmese specialties.

"When you come to Myanmar, you always have to bring some souvenirs back, and when you come to travel, you always leave some souvenirs. ”

"Yes, come to Myanmar, visit some scenic spots, and feel the customs of Myanmar, and feel very happy, buy some souvenirs, take them back, keep them for yourself, or give them to relatives and friends!"

Myanmar's famous special products, the first to recommend jewelry, jade and pearls, and other bamboo handmade "lacquerware", expressed in furniture, vases, etc., quite exquisite.

I have introduced Myanmar's jewelry, jadeite, pearls are very beautiful and very famous, I have been to many places, seen a lot of scenic spots, and increased my understanding of Myanmar's culture, and Burmese people also like to contain the local culture into jewelry and jade.

Jewelry is an art that uses the material and luster of jewelry to make different shapes.

Myanmar's jadeite is also very famous, the gloss is very good, many jewelry merchants, very fond of coming to Myanmar to buy goods, meet the discerning, knowledgeable goods, you can buy very good jadeite.

Thayer took everyone shopping, walking and shopping, this kind of walking and shopping, while watching, while appreciating, is still very happy.

I met a lot of local Burmese people on the street, the weather in Myanmar is also relatively hot, wearing short sleeves, and sometimes you can see men wearing long skirts, this phenomenon, Zhou Sen thinks it is also very peculiar.

Liu Dazhuang took a lot of photos, and then took the camera, framing, and took pictures of the scenery of the streets of Myanmar, pedestrians walking in a hurry, wearing different clothes, looking a little old, lacking some of the fashion sense of the metropolis.

Zhou Sen said: "Burmese people still look conservative in their dressing style!"

Thayer nodded, "Yes, the dressing style of Burmese people is still influenced by the culture of Myanmar and the local customs of Myanmar. ”

"Myanmar's in-laws still manage more daughters-in-law, if the clothes are too fashionable and show too much, they will say that the daughter-in-law is not good, the daughter-in-law has a child, there is no job, and she has to rely on her husband to go out to work to earn money to support the family, so she does not dare to contradict the in-laws, or abide by the traditions of Myanmar, wear the traditional clothes of Myanmar or the clothes that Myanmar appreciates, it is still very conservative. ”

"If you go to Singapore, you will see that the streets of Singapore are still more westernized, and women's clothes are much more fashionable than others, and the degree of modernity of a place can also be seen from the clothes of the people on the street. ”

I don't think I can compare with the more modern Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Brunei, and compared to Thailand, Burmese people dress more conservatively.

Married women try to avoid strange men, and the family status of women in Myanmar is still relatively low, and after giving birth to children, ordinary women will lose their jobs and rely more on their husbands.

In the morning in Yangon, there is no trace of women in the tea room, and at night the crowd squatting on the street to watch the football game is full of men and women sitting in the market stalls and in charge of the roadside food stalls.

In Mandalay in the evening, men are dining in the station restaurant, and women are busy greeting customers, and traveling alone in Myanmar often finds yourself falling into this strange scene surrounded by men.

Thayer nodded and sighed, "Burmese women have a lot of freedom and rights on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are bound by many traditional moral constraints. ”

"In reality, Burmese women are considered to be simple and conservative, and they are mostly capable of working, doing business and even supporting their families outside the home, and there are not a few women who leave their hometowns to work for themselves and their families like in Zhao Deyin's movies, and older women are usually respected in the family. ”

Women will not dine with you when you are a guest in a Burmese home, not because they are inferior to you, but because they are good hosts, and if you insist on eating with them, they will feel that you look down on them, which is an insult.

Zhou Sen felt very strange, "Why is this happening?"

"Hahaha, this is the difference in culture and customs, so before coming to Myanmar, you must learn about the customs of Myanmar!"

Burmese women are not allowed to wear low-waisted trousers that expose their backs, or revealing blouses or skirts in formal settings, and it is advisable to observe these principles in general public settings.

Women should not stand higher than men, shoes or culottes should not touch men's heads, lower body clothing should not be hung on men's clothes, and clothing should not be mixed with men's clothes.

Zhou Sen was even more strange, "Why is this happening?"

"This is how they have been educated since childhood, and it can also be said that it is a kind of discrimination and bondage against women in Myanmar, and they have not really achieved equality between men and women," Thayer said. ”

"However, with the progress and development of Myanmar society, women can gradually occupy various important positions in the country through their own efforts, which is also a welcome change!"

Myanmar is rich in gold mines, and the gold leaf paved on the surface of the pagoda and Buddha body can be strongly felt that the rich gold mines and gold ornaments are naturally of high quality and low price.

Traditional handicrafts such as wood carvings, rattan products, and brightly coloured sand cages adorned with sequins can be purchased at Yangon's Aung San Market.

Thayer took Zhou Sen to visit many places, and the traditional handicrafts of Myanmar left a deep impression on Zhou Sen, although Myanmar seems to be a little backward, and the infrastructure on the street is not so perfect.

But Thayer also said: "Myanmar has joined the Belt and Road Initiative, and has completed the construction of some new buildings, which are better than the previous infrastructure facilities, no longer so old, but there is a process, and the future will be better and better."

Myanmar's diverse and distinctive handicrafts are sure to make you forget to buy, such as ivory carvings, lacquerware, Burmese harps and well-woven straw hats.

Myanmar is an important source of jewelry and jade in the world, and Myanmar's rubies, sapphires and jadeites are all over the traditional bazaars and various types of shopping malls.

To Myanmar, jewelry and jade handicrafts are incomparable treasures in the eyes of the Burmese people, these supreme handicrafts condense the wisdom and creativity of the Burmese people, and the unique aura of these handicrafts is even more lovely.
