  4. Food The staple food is rice in Myanmar. It is a kind of non-sticky rice. But in Shan State, sticky rice is eaten. All curries are called "Hin" in Myanmar. We can point out the fact that they also call rice and mashed potatoes "Hin". That curry is not spicy because it is cooked with fewer spices than Indian curry like peas and potatoes. But they use a lot of oil. The Myanmar eat various kinds of noodles. The main noodles is rice noodles Mohinga. It is usually served at social and religious functions. A striking fact is that there is no foreign food manufacturer when curries are served at functions, it is usually free of charge. This is an old tradition of Myanmar. Compare to the neighboring countries like Thailand and China, they do not eat out much. http://www.yangonow.com/eng/culture/food/index.html

  7. Buddhism The main religion of Myanmar is Buddhism. Freedom of religion is practiced in Myanmar, although a majority (some 89.1%) are Buddhists in Myanmar. But Myanmar seems democratic that Buddhism is not defined as the official religion of the country, like most Islamic countries does. Faith and religion are a little hard to differentiate or divide, and they are often very much inter-related or confused. All teaching by a religion is generally considered as religious matters, while other customs and traditional beliefs not taught by a religious body is considered as faith. In addition to that, superstition often influences the faith and the lives of the Myanmar people. http://www.myanmars.net/myanmar-culture/myanmar-buddhism.htm
