In Myanmar, the belief in Nat (Spirit) is one of the most important parts of the culture. If you get to Taung Pyone by Chance but you are not actually a Nat believer, circus and cultural dances, music and magic shows, fortunetellers and tattoo shops will entertain you at any time. Another awesome thing that you will be amazed plenty of crowded shops with local food and accessories from souvenir shops stroll through passing and flocking among different types of people. You wonder about how the locals’ lives during the festival time. The small road to festival area becomes lively with a lot of traffic jam. Young and old people on roadsides are busy asking for money from vehicles.
If you are around Mandalay during August, I recommend you to attend this festival. I am sure it will be an unforgettable memory.

Unique Cultures of Irrawaddy dolphins and local fisherman in Myanmar!!

What a beautiful custom! Irrawaddy dolphins are an endangered species found in only three rivers in the world, including the Irrawaddy River in Burma (Myanmar)--the only place where cooperative fishing with Irrawaddy dolphins exists. The Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) is a euryhaline species of oceanic dolphin, meaning they transition between saltwater and freshwater. Though they are listed as one of the seven species of river dolphin, they are not a true river dolphin. They use echolocation (sound) to hunt fish and communicate together. Their estimated total population is 7,100 and preferred habitat of this dolphin is muddy, brackish waters at river mouths and deltas.
