Do you have two names?  Maybe one the family uses and one for everyone else. Well Myanmar is also called Burma.  People there have no last name or family name.  So if you see Ming Ming and Mo Mo written down, you don’t know if they are brothers or friends. The men chew betel nut, which stains their teeth red, and both men and women wear longyis, a wraparound skirt.  Men tie theirs in the front and women fold the cloth over and tie it at the side.  Also, the women of the Kyan tribe wear brass neck coils around their necks from a young age.  Over the years, the weight of the brass pushes the women’s collar bone down giving them a long neck.  There are many religious places in Burma, including stupas, pagodas, temples and monasteries which were fun to explore.  The biggest book in the world is in Myanmar.  It is 1460 pages of polished marble, which is engraved with hundreds of lines of Buddhist texts.      Purrs, Gulliver
