Myanmar Culture
As some defines it, "culture" defines 'way of life', meaning the way groups do things. Excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, also known as high culture. An integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior. The outlook, attitudes, values, morals goals, and customs shared by a society. As described, Myanmar culture covers a wide range of areas, from festivals, religion, food, clothing, music, dances, tradition, customs, superstitions, and numerious ways of doing things.
Stereotype of Myanmar can be constructed out of Myanmar culture, however it is needed to note that Myanmar is a very heterogeneous country teamed up of 135 different nationalities all around the country, with different language, religion, and cultures too.

Leisurely habit
For most betel addicts. the little shops at Yangon street corners. where they sell ready-made betel quids. leave them cold. A fastidious connoisseur must compose his quid to suit his own individual taste and chew it in his own sweet time. as he let the world go by.

Inside of a cheroot
Everyone knows the Myanmar-cigar. as the trusty dictionary says. is a tight roll of tobacco with pointed ends for smoking. But what do we call the other kind. the Say-baw-leik. or mild tobacco cigar. as the word implies? We call it cheroot. but it does not tally with the description given in the dictionary; ''cigar with both ends open". It was only one end for lighting and the other end has a filter. a small roll of dry corn-husks.

Myanma Chinlon
- Details
- Last Updated: 13 November 2018
The Myanmar term Chinlon refers to games in which a woven rattan ball about 12 cm in diameter is kicked around. It also refers to the ball itself. which resembles the takraw of Thailand and Malaysia. Informally any number of players can form a circle and keep the Chinlon airborne by kicking it soccer-style from player to player; a lack of scoring makes it a favourite pastime with Myanmar of all ages.
