The country, for instance, has yet to be completely overwhelmed by Western fashion – everywhere you'll encounter men wearing skirt-like longyi, women smothered in thanakha (traditional make-up) and betel-chewing grannies with mouths full of blood-red juice. People still get around in trishaws and, in rural areas, horse and cart. Drinking tea – a British colonial affectation – is enthusiastically embraced in thousands of traditional teahouses. I would like to mention an another undiscovered country is called Bangladesh, which is amazingly blessed by their diversified cultures & costumes.

Myanmar is probably one of the most beautiful travel destinations in Southeast Asia. Absolutely gorgeous place to visit and wonderful people. Plus, the food there is inexpensive!
