Appreciating the Burmese Culture

Over Easter break, I traveled with a small group of students and two teachers to Myanmar, also known as Burma. Through- out the trip, we were welcomed by the local Burmese people who wanted to share their culture with us. In ad-
dition to learning about the country’s traditions and history, we learned about each other, and as a result, became closer with one another. Our experiences taught us about being grateful for what we have and enjoying life as we have it. Our 10 days in Burma pushed us to live in the moment and try new things, such as riding in the back of a cart pulled by oxen and taking bucket showers behind a monastery.
