New value that I found from this photo is that sacred place can be the place for families to relax comfortably in Myanmar.  As for Japan, we do have the custom to visit shrine or temple only on the special occasions such as a celebration of child’s third fifth and seventh years, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Since we do not regard shrines and temple as a place to visit with families, friends, and even girl/boyfriend in a daily life, this scene is really rare and new to me.  However, in Myanmar, some people often visit the temples to not only pray. This is the biggest difference between Myanmar and Japan. Actually, I think this is a really good custom for the family to gather. Because some Japanese parents go to work and have a limited time to spare for their family. It somewhat cannot help it, however, spending time with families is a crucial element for children to learn a lot about communication, society, history, culture and even it can be helpful for them to tie their bond.  Moreover, the Myanmar participants who I met is amazingly familiar with their own culture and history, so this kind of custom might be one of the reasons why Myanmar people are a pious Buddhist. To conclude, sacred temples and shrines can be a place for everyone to not just pray but to relax and have a conversation with families and friends. This custom absolutely describes the culture of Myanmar for caring and perish their family, and their piousness toward Buddhism.
