Culture

a) Population
i) What’s the population of the country?  Compare this to the population of the US

Myanmar has a population of 55,746,253, which is about 1/6 of the United States 318,860,032 people. This is kinda crazy since Myanmar is only about the size of Texas. The majority of the population lives in urban areas. The capital city of Myanmar, Naypyidaw contains around 1,158,367 people and I was unable to find a population for Bhamo.

b) Agriculture‐ 
i) What types of agriculture do they have and what type of diet do they have?

With agriculture making up 60 percent of Myanmar's GDP man things are grown, but the dominant crop is rice. Many others things are cultured such as: pulses, beans, sesame, groundnuts, sugarcane, lumber, and fish. Agriculture also accounts for 65 percent of the labor force. The people are Myanmar mainly consume rice dishes with either meat or fish. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Burma)

c) Industry and Tourism
i) Are industry and tourism related to geography and climate? 

Myanmar has some beautiful sights but the tourism is not very high nor related to the industries. Not much money has been put in to tourism but it is slowing growing as people wish to see the picturesque landscape.

d) Cultural Activities
i) Are there any notable historical events that add to the climate/culture story

Up until 1990 Myanmar was under military control; that year Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party won the election with 80 percent of the vote. It had been under 30 years of military control previously. Myanmar has stayed democratic until the most recent election which Suu Yyi is not allowed to participate in, as she was arrested.
