are two prevalent styles of eingyi: yinzi buttoned at the front, or
yinbon , buttoned at the side.
 Do you think any of these traditions have come
from other countries?
• Absolutely not because the cultures in our country can't be found in any
other countries and our country is not known very much in some countries
which are far apart from us. But our traditions cultures can usually be found
in Thai because Thai is our neighboring country and most of our traditional
food, clothes, festival, religion and other stuff can be found easily and
nearly the same with us. Almost every Pagodas are the same with us. We
don't have a clear information that Thai copy our cultures or we copy Thai
culture but as the information on internet Thai and Myanmar are similar.
 Is your life different from the lives of people in
other countries? How?
• My live is different from other people from other countries. For
example: I have Asian parents so my life is already hard
We Burmese have different type of festival.
We have different traditional food
We have different type of uniform, different time zone
• Asian parents never say sorry even if they are wrong but if we are
wrong and tried to explain its consider as "talking back" but if we don't
try to explain they get angry and consider as we don't care them.
