One of my favourite experiences in Myanmar was an unforgettable evening spent enjoying the colourful performances of cultural dance and music that tell the dramatic and funny traditional stories of Myanmar. The dances are performed in an atmospheric traditional style theatre. They are easy to understand, and aided by a very friendly host who briefly explains the dances in English prior to each performance. It was also an unexpected delight to see the 70 (?) year old dance master perform. The school provides an amazing opportunity by sponsoring children from rural areas to become professional dancers. It's wonderful to see young people learning traditional art forms. They have clearly trained hard and it's heart-warming to see genuine joy when they dance.

Moe and her nieces treated us like we were royalty. Moe could have sold us a much more expensive piece but because she wants you to be happy more than she wants to make a huge profit, she makes sure you get the right piece you will wear. We wanted a Pigeon Blood Myanmar Ruby ring. I thought I wanted it for my middle finger. She said I would need a large ruby then and it would be a ring that would be "too fancy" and I wouldn't wear it everyday - which was my other criteria. Therefore she sold me a pinky ring. She educated us more on natural verses heat treated rubies. I LOVE my ring and haven't stopped wearing it since that day. Moe could have made a higher purchase from us but instead she wanted me to leave with what I came there to buy. You will get a good deal, quality and the real thing that you can trust and a wonderful experience with Moe.

We booked a full day trip of Mandalay with Mr Making and had a great experience. Mr Making picked us up on time and drove us to all the places we wanted to visit. His car was comfortable and he also provided us with cold drinking water and towels throughout the day. He was friendly and gave great suggestions and advice, and didn't rush us even when our tour went over the usual time. Overall, we would definitely use Mr Making again and would recommend his services to our friends and family - thanks for a wonderful day!

I really enjoyed the Mandalay Marionette Theatre. The show was in a small theatre, which seats about 65 or so and is small and intimate. You are close to the stage, the owner and actors come out to talk and show you how the puppets work. The show is explained in English, they reveal how the puppeteers are working, and the performance is fun and interesting to experience. It is well worth the hour, it adds a little bit of local culture to any visit to Mandalay, and it helps keep this traditional art alive. I recommend to anyone to visit, esp if you want to learn more about Myanmar. Well done and thanks :)

The pagoda has an unusual shape - square at the base. The central figure of the Buddha is gradually deformed due to the desire of pilgrims to add their piece of gold to the statue. There are also several statues with their own - medical - properties.
