Subject: HOW TO SPOT A BURMESE
You know that you are definitely a Burmese if: -
1. Everything you eat is savored in garlic, onion and chilies.
2. You try and re-use gift wrappers, gift boxes, and of course
aluminum foil.
3. You try to eject food particles from between your teeth by pressing
your tongue against them and making a peculiar noise
like, tshick, tshick!
4. You are standing next to the two largest size suitcases at the
Airport.
5. You arrive one or two hours late to a party, and think it's normal.
6. You peel the stamps off letters that the Postal Service missed to
stamp.
7. Your toilet has a plastic bowl next to the commode.
8. You name your children in rhythms (example, Myat Noe & Myat Moe,
Mar Lar & Thar Yar )
9. All your children have pet names, which sound no where close to
their real names.
10. You take Burmese snacks anywhere it says "No Food Allowed"
11. You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house.
12. You load up the family car with as many people as possible.
13. You use plastic to cover anything new in your house whether it's
the remote control, VCR, carpet or new couch.
14. Your parents tell you to not care about what your friends think,
but they won't let you do certain things because of what the other
"Uncles And Aunties" will think.
15. Owning a rice cooker is a top priority.
16. You live with your parents even if you are 40 years old and
married with children. (And they like it that way).
17. If she is NOT your daughter, you always take interest in knowing
whose daughter has run away with whose son and feel its your duty to
spread the word.
18. You don't make long distance calls even in an emergeny.
19. If you don't live at home, when your parents call, they ask if
you've eaten, even if it's midnight.
20. When your parents meet other Burmese for the first time and talk
for a few minutes, you soon discover they are your relatives.
21. Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries
have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of
their lungs while talking.
22. You have bed sheets on your sofas so as to keep them from getting
dirty but the sheet on your bed has not been washed for months!
23. It's embarrassing if your wedding has less than 600 people.
24. You list your daughter as "fair and slim" in the matrimonial no
matter what she looks like.
25. You're always interested to know/interfere in other peoples
personal matters, what they are doing, where they are going, etc.
26. You have really enjoyed reading this mail because you know some,
or most of them apply to you!
PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD TO NON BURMESE!!!
Hehehe I tihnk most of it applies to Asians in general but some are just only what burmese ppl do. Hope y'all have a good day
