π²π² Friendly ethnic Pa'O villager in western Shan State, Burma (2016) - ααΌααΊαα¬ααΌααΊ
While dental hygiene is not a priority in the rural parts of Shan State, Burma where the locals chew betel nut, this very friendly local with a beaming smile hosted us in his home for lunch. Each village in Burma has its own character, way of life, and usually hosts a specific ethnic group with the trappings of their culture, religion, and political allegiances. Village life is much slower than the city and Western lifestyle. It is refreshing to experience and can recenter one if you slow down to embrace the change in pace.
