Mohinga Memories

Few people I know could turn down a bowl of mohinga, the piquant, complex medley of rice noodles and other ingredients in a savory fish-based broth widely regarded as the country’s national dish.

Burmese Dance
The Burmese dance uses graceful and lively movements to tell a story. Whether it's a tale of ancient history, political strife, unwavering love or spiritual journeys, the Burmese dancer conveys emotion and action with the common postures of everyday life. The dance steps are executed very slowly with random burst of rapid leaps and movements. With colorful and elaborate costumes, it is clear to see how the Burmese dance has entertained for centuries, and because of its lasting legacy, a talented Burmese dancer is highly respected as a source of national pride.
