I'd like visit it,
this part of orient asian Sud-est is veri fascinable!!

:deal: FLA, If you have visited Thailand then Burma is just across the border. You could buy semi-precious stones and ruby for much lower price than in Europe,One of my aunt is a jeweler and she said that Burma's semi-precious stones are among the regions best. But don't forget to buy only from a reputable dealer as fakes is also common , also don't forget to haggle when buying in Burma.

I've only read now your answer EWk, sorry,
but, I'm going to remember your suggest..
OK! :beer:

I think they will have a" Mega sale" soon! Rubies, Jade and so on! :cool:

ahah
very interesting!!
:kaching:

Its the 40th Annual Gems emporium! event from March 15-23. $39million worth of gems are to be sold! Among this year 's emporium is a jade deposit weighing 87kilogram ,and carries a price tag of :kaching: $4.5 million!This piece was minted in the northern Kachin State. :eek2:

I think AsiaFinest needs a Myanmar section.

How many AF members are actually from Burma

It would attract people from Myanmar to join. I never even heard of AsiaFinest, until someone posted about it in a Khmer website saying that there is a Khmer section on AsiaFinest. So I joined because of that.

I don't think Ben would want to create a new section just to wait for members interested in that section to magically "show up".

He usually would create a new section if someone of that ethnicity demands it though.

Burmese also cultivate faggots

You are definitely one of their products

If you want to attack someone for no reason, at least do it properly... He's not even Burmese... ACVSes are funny

Warning given for racist remarks

the burmese ethnicity did inflict much pain and sufferiing upon the aboriginal mon ethnicty of lower burma tho..

[joking ] yes I'm gay. I'd love to marry a man, sleep with him every night. and adopt innocent children and teach them being homosexual is a healthy and normal thing. I'd hold massive demonstrations in San Francisco and promote homosexuality. I'd also publish VHS/DVD and TV programs to instruct people how to enjoy gay sex. And I'm going to direct some movies about guys kissing guys and let everyone see how mainstream that is. [/joking]

anyway, I think we should create a Burma section.

yeah burmese/mon section would be really cool..

if you don't like gay people so much, why do you talk them so much excessively? you have nothing to do with their lifestyle do you? so why do you continue to bring them into your life by talking about them?

My friend, Olivia, has a mother who was born in Burma and knows Burmese...
I would love to visit it sometime in the future...

Sadly I only know one word in Burmese: "dey" meaning "dead, die"

hey can anyone tell me about the tribal group in myanmar who wear brass (?) rings around their neck that cause their necks to become elongated? And why do they do that? I suppose its a sign of beauty to them. Just like in the T'boli tribe of Mindanao and that tribe's custom of blackening their teeth with some sap or something as they believe white teeth are only for animals. or something like that. but still the T'boli are among the most colorfully ethnic dressed tribes of the philippines and are also known for their superior metalworks and textiles and crafts etc.
