Myanmar

Myanmar is a small country in Asia. The country is located in southeast Asia. My home town is located in the west of the country.The name of the town is Thantlang. The populations is approximately seven-thousand. There are about one thousand and five hundred houses inside the town. The town is in the Chin state in Myanmar. So, most of the people who live there are Chin people and they are Christians. The town has very nice views that can bee seen from a distance. It is interesting to know how the people who live there work and spend their holidays.

People in the Chin state live with each other in big families. This may be the one difference between Myanmar and Australia. Most peoples don't have cars to transport into the town, most of peoples use motorcycles, because the town is small and they don't need to use a car to travel inside the town. If you have a car you can use it, wherever you want to go. But people need to use a car or a bus when they want to visit another town and if they want to travel to other states. Mostly, peoples who visit or travel to other states and towns use an express bus.

The town doesn't have any universities, so peoples who want to study at university have to move to other states depending on their majors. During holidays, most university students came back in the town from their universities. Most of the town youth spend their holiday and leisure time socializing and some help their parents at work.

Sometimes some people, especially the youth, go to the rivers that are nearby the town and they catch fish. The town has a pretty big town-hall and there are two government hospitals, two public high schools and three government primary schools. There are great mountains and good environment that people enjoy there.

Because conditions of a roads are bad, people who lives in the town are very kind and friendly with one another.
