Introduction

Good afternoon fellow internet users. My name is Mohammed Yarsin. I was born and rise in a country called Myanmar.  I am 17 years old and currently a student in The University of Texas at Dallas. I lived in Myanmar for 2/3 of my life. When I use to live there, the official country name was Burma till recently it was changed to Myanmar.  You will see me use both Burma and Myanmar in my future posts from time to time but I will only do so if it doesn’t create any sort of confusion.  I can speak and write Burmese fluently.  My family and I moved to America 5 years ago but we still are in touch with our relatives that are in Myanmar.                

Myanmar is a small country in South East Asia. People don’t know a whole lot about Myanmar. Some just know the countries that are next to Myanmar and just a few people know some facts about the country but nothing deeper or surpass that. The reason I created this blog is to help people discover more about Myanmar, more than knowing where is located. From here on out, everything I post will be related to and relevant information and facts about Myanmar; Myanmar is a beautiful country and if you follow my blog from start to the end, you will learn fascinating information, facts, and gain knowledge about Myanmar from cultures to politics and everything in between.  My next post will be a brief history of Myanmar.
