A look at Myanmar (Burma) Buddhist and Other National Days




You probably know of one person from Burma or Myanmar. Aung San Suu Kyi.


Myanmar is often still called Burma. The national religion is Buddhism. When will your friends from Burma be busy or thinking about home? When should you be sending them greetings? When can you ask them to give a speech about their national days, which have just passed or are upcoming?
