It contains detailed descriptions of living and working in Myanmar, from conversations with and insights from local friends, coworkers, neighbors, barbers, taxi drivers, market sellers, monks, pastors, grandparents, parents, and children.Myanmar (Burma) is a land of extremes.

It is at the same time, at war and at peace a land of strife and of unity of setbacks and advances. While the country still faces many serious challenges, it is also true that many people&#8217s lives have improved as the country slowly emerges from its isolated past.

Myanmar&#8217s extreme diversity compels us to shun explanations of the country from one group&#8217s perspective in exchange for a more

nuanced and holistic view.It is a country nearly impossible to describe concisely. Perhaps this is why when we started looking for good photo books on Myanmar life and culture to share with family and friends, our searches kept coming up empty. For this reason, we are quite aware of the challenge of faithfully and accurately sharing about this place that has so captured our hearts, and changed the way we look at the world. We hope it helps you catch a glimpse of the unique and diverse ways of life that together make up the country and people of Myanmar.
