Although schools are usually considered free in Myanmar, parents end up paying in other ways, through administrative fees, donations, registration fees, uniform fees, and the like.

Fast Facts

  • Rice

    Rice isn't just a side dish—it is served with every meal in Myanmar, along with a cup of green tea.

  • Hair

    There's a lot of superstition about haircuts in Myanmar. No one gets their hair cut on Mondays, Fridays, or their birthdays.

  • Betel Nuts

    Betel nuts are hugely popular, and people will chew on them all day and into the evening hours. They aren't harmless, though--they stain teeth red and have been linked to oral cancer.
