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.
