Week 2... Off to Myanmar!

Off we go to Myanmar!!

 Hello everyone! Sorry for the late post. Though I have not written about this week until now, I did start my week on time. This week, I am in Myanmar, formerly called Burma, which is in the south of Asia. I found it a bit tricky to find a cultural aspect that I could follow in my own life, but I did find something! This week, each day I will be wearing a shawl and a blouse as is traditional in this country. Women as well as men also wear a a cloth that wraps around their bottom half called a longyi (worn in different ways for each gender), but I felt like I would not accurately be able to portray this part of their dress because I do not have access to the specific kind of fabric patterns that they wear. The shawls that these women where are called pawas. Though my shawls may not be exactly like theirs, I did my best to find those that are not Americanized and that cover my arms as those of these women do. I am excited to tell you of the comments that people have given me thus far this week and those that they will when I post pictures soon (within the next few days). Thanks goes out to CultureGrams for this week's information. Thank you CultureGrams! Talk to you all soon!
