Although most people in cities know English, it's a good idea to learn a few phrases in Burmese. Unfortunately, they use an alphabet that appears to just be a bunch of circles with accents, so the translation you see here is the pronunciation. Also unfortunate is the fact that some of the words are unpronounceable. But that's not my fault, so enjoy!
