festivals
Burma (since 1998 also called Myanmar) festivals is known and even famous for many things. Strangely enough, there is something Burma and the Burmese people are generally not known for, and that is festivals and celebrating, although Burma could in fact be justifiably called the country of festivals.
The Burmese festivals calendar is packed with occasions both regional and nation-wide to celebrate. I find it hard to say where this has its origins; in events that are worthy of being celebrated or simply the wish of Burmese people to celebrate and, subsequently, to find suitable occasions that give sufficient reason to do this. Whichever came first the fact remains that whenever the moon is full it is festival time in Burma. Both religious and cultural festivals take place year-round and all over the country. And most festivals are drawn-out and enjoyable affairs here.
