BURMESE BBQ & GOLDEN BUDDHAS | Mandalay, Myanmar

[@culturedtaco3157]

I'm so happy that you are having a good time in Myanmar. I travel there quite often and really love the country but its sad to see that not too many people know about it. In my experience traveling South East Asian, Myanmar has got to be my favorite destination so far.

[@milkymouse3702]

Happy to be the Best Host.

[@ChaseforAdventure]

I’m so sad that your cruise is over!! I’ve LOVED the Myanmar vlogs!! Excited to see Egypt, though!

[@monicagoswami9473]

Everything gets on HOLD!! KARA and NATE are here. LOL. U people have become such an integral part that I keep checking my phone just to get a glimpse of ur notification. Loads of lov.

[@lohith_sai]

Thanks for showing the hidden treasures to explore in one of the most beautiful yet unexplored countries in the world As our neighbour, I'd definitely visit Myanmar in the future & get the vibes which you'd experienced in my own way With love from Chennai🇮🇳

[@sonnyps413]

2:16 "Ladies" are not allowed. It's actually not in any Buddhist canons. It's just a part of Myanmar's culture that gets mixed up with religion. So, it's kinda sad to see such an outdated tradition being allow in a country where arguably the most peaceful religion "Buddhism" is the dominant one. Lovely nation with lovely people.

[@Umarsaurabh]

PS One This is also practice in old temples of India. But should be outdated by now.

[@milkymouse3702]

Not woman are regarded as lower. But the Saints the Monks and Women naturally not meant to be together and stay close up. Coz of the sense, the vision of women (worldly attractions) can accidentally disturb and stimulate the monks who hasnt attainted Arhat, the mental stage to overcome and ignore all greed, lust, anger, and harsh mental impurities. For the case of the Saints the Monks attained Arhat, the sensations and stimuli never will be matter coz they have attainded an advanced mental stage. But even in that case, a woman and an Arhat monk should not be alone certainly not coz of distractions to the Monk anymore but coz of the Scence can cause the normal people viewer who dun know abt the Monk or real situation think wrong, speak wrong, believe wrong, and cause false accusations, rumors, false news that lead to disgrace the Monk, the Sammgha, the Monkhood, the community of Deciples of the Buddha, and unnecessary explanations, answers and talks and this situation can cause bad deeds, misdeeds for the ones who think wrong, speak wrong, believe wrong, accuse wrong abt the Arhat or Normal Monk and bad big returns from the Karma if the accused person is not at false at all and even if the person they think wrong accuse wrong is Arhat Monk. Thats why "Matuka" women should not be mixed and should stay at a limited distance lawed by the Buddha. (Rederence to Authentic Buddhist Scriptures, Theravada Tri Pitaka) So, in Authentic Buddhism, an existence and a state (human, man,woman, animal, one at hell, one at celecial abodes) is not permanent, change 1 life after another acc. to their deeds and last mental inclination at the dying moment, so in this life one may get manhood but in next, may be womanhood. So no discrimination at heart, as forms are impermanent according to their own Karma, good deeds and bad deeds in record on self-conscious. But its super clear that a woman and a Monk should not be very near, and alone. And It just Shouldnt at all. Not Discrimination but Common Sense and Universal Proper Thing. Women can see the Buddha, hear the Dhamma preseaching by Monks or the Buddha himself, be present in the hall, and speak to the Monks, discuss with the Monks at a proper Distance. At Burmese homes, woman are mostly the ones who do daily paying homages, offering Buddha flowers, water, food, and light or fragrances, cleaning and maintaining the Shrine where Buddha Image that represents real Buddha stays. So they have to go near the Buddha Image to clean tto maintaim to take or place things. As Burmese people believe Shwedagon Pagoda, enshrined with the Lord Buddha's hair relics, and this Maha Muni Image @Mandalay having placed together with the Lord Buddha when He is Alive to copy the Essence and Aura of the Buddha to be worshipped and cherished by the people and the generations to come in the absence of the Lord Buddha as a Clone Image of the Buddha. So, they cherished and highly-valued These Sacred Buddhisy Heritages, taking to the very heart that the lands where These Heritages lie are Sacred Land and take off their foor wearings, head wearings and women keep a distance and worship humbly from This Great Buddha Image as It were the Real Buddha Himself. Every Morning, a Vernerable Monk offer cleaning scented water and perform Face Cleaning Ceremony of the Buddha Image as a daily duty since age-old time.

[@ljsm1117]

I feel a little sad about it too.

[@crewmatewillthrowthesehand7600]

Ikr. These people give Buddhism a bad name. There is no mention of men and women being different in terms of holiness in Buddhism. Buddha also say that gender does not matter when practicing Buddhism when people ask him if only men can be Buddha. But they still make "ladies not allowed" signs. And the men sit wherever they want so there's even less space for women to pray. Culture is truly a bane of religion.

[@saltycrotchwhiff3946]

There are many barber shops in the US, were "ladies" are not allowed. But probably , there are more barber shops than ladies in the US.

[@umangdalal3203]

I'm in my office and as soon as I got your notification I stopped everything, took a break and saw your vlog, it's amazing as usual.

[@takeamoement]

Hey guys! I just watched the entire Myanmar playlist and I fell in love. Being born in Yangon but living in Singapore since I was 6 years old, I have always been interested in my own country's history and the places, and it has been so interesting and eye-opening for me to see you guys visit the villages and cities in Myanmar. I'm so glad you guys had a great time. There are some places that I haven't been to myself and I'm thinking of going there end this year in December. You scored yourself another inspired subscriber :) Happy travels!

[@simutrains8723]

What amazing footage as usual. Your videos are so interesting to watch as they show us different cultures around the globe ! Love you guys

I use a big scarf like that as a blanket sometimes! I have tons of them but always one in my travel bag just in case I end up in a cold airport, or plane, etc. And of course to use it in all the ways you suggested too.

[@arkarkyawmyothu3608]

Thank for coming and exploring my country and showing others people to our own cultures and heritages . There are still bunch of more places to visit in Myanmar. Moreover , our country is pretty save for the any travelers and tourists, the things that u guys are seeing in the news that most of them are fake and media talk , there are only fews places you cant allow to visit . PS. Mandalay BBQ is the best tho 😋😋😋

[@snowlay1017]

I’m watching this video on my lunch break 😊. I wish I had an extra day in Mandalay to show you guys around.

Nice one guys!

[@tyffanietun1377]

Omg!! The BBQ looks so good! Guys, I can’t believe you went to Mandalay and didn’t explore the palace area! That area is so beautiful and has lots of good food unique to Mandalay! None the less, great video! Lots of love ❤️

Never wanted to go to Myanmar until these vlogs. Thanks once again, Kara & Nate!

[@bobguenther6658]

You guys just bring happiness to people!

[@trk3707]

There are some more Buddha statues out there in other Myanmar city created during Buddha life time but when it come to tourist attraction Mandalay Mahamuni is in always on top of their list because of where the Buddha statue are located in big city like Mandalay and Yangon that's how they got tourist attention more. I am proud of how you guys successfully and safely crossed the road always packed with motorcycle. It is not easy, it also dangerous but you guys did it. I'm always looking forward to watch some more vlogs from Myanmar.

[@elliexiao1397]

Welcome to Mandalay, my home town! There are many famous places to visit and delicious foods to try... I'm really glad to see my home town in your vlog and thanks for mentioning our country...

Another great one as always it's like a special treat when I see you post an always look forward to watching

[@JessicaBaoChen]

Hello Kara and Nate, I have been following your channel since Peru and I think you guys are great. I am a Burmese and I would like to correct you on why "ladies are not allowed" at Shwedagon. It is not because the pagoda is so holy Nate, it is about traditions. Buddhism has no separation between sexes but the Burmese culture does. I hope you don't find this comment hostile. My intentions are to just inform. Keep up the great work!

[@saltycrotchwhiff3946]

Thank you, it`s important to offer Kate and Nate opportunities to learn, since they are neither particular educated in general nor informed about the countries they are travel.

[@timothygil1]

It's all about the country and how serious those traditions are, here in the U.S. we had a lot of traditions that stood for a long time, (not as long as buddhaism of course) and now you get in trouble at school if you wish someone a Merry Christmas.it's a political world, I wonder how long Burma will last.

[@rickt8045]

I really love your show. the last time I enjoyed such an awesome travel show was when Departures aired on Travel channel. your videography and production is absolutely fantastic. great choices in music and really great slow motion editing. keep up the good work. love from South Africa.

[@KaraandNate]

We watched Departures the year before we left to travel full time. We had no clue how to film or edit and I literally took notes one night on one of their episodes 😂 Loved that series!!

[@apt4709]

The food in our country is very tasty and welcome to Myanmar again👍

[@ToriMcAllister]

I've literally spent the last 3 months binge-watching your videos whenever I had free time and I'm finally caught up. You're both so talented and good at what you do! Your passion and excitement for travel is contagious and I can only hope that one day I can inspire people like you do! P.S. It's really refreshing to hear a fellow southern accent on KZbin since I'm from NC, lol!

[@KaraandNate]

Hey Tori! Wow 3 months is a long time! Thanks for spending so much of your free time with us :) we are honored! much love from fellow southerners! 💜

[@Rambler9]

This couple is simple and honestly depicts the scenario. Very lovely. I have also seen about 50 vlogs in the last seven lockdown days in India. I am amazed at your anchoring, not seen this quality since early episodes of Lonely Planet.

[@lwintun123]

I think you guys are misunderstanding that 'women are not allowed' part. Women are in fact allowed to go inside the temple you will see @ 1:55 there are women there. But women are just not allowed to go on top of the Buddha statue (the reason could be Buddha and monks are not meant to get too close). Hope that makes sense.

[@noahdg884]

What an awesome video! The food looks lush!

[@aimmarie4235]

I love your videos so much!!!! You guys inspire me to travel to places I would of never thought I'd want to go! Before watching this video I would of never wanted to go here but you guys have captured their kindness and genuineness when other people look it over.... I can't wait to start traveling! BTW: Can you do an updated video on how you first started out traveling... How you got traffic on your vlogs.. How you make money to travel etc! That would be very helpful for people trying to start their own travel vlog!

Seeing karas reaction to food is how you really know food is good. Basically when it looks like she's having a spiritual experience that's the best stuff! Lol!! I just binge watched your entire vlog over the last couple months and I'm getting to the end. 😥😱😭😭😭😭😭 I'm so sad!!!!! I think my favorite part really was Asia in the beginning. You guys were so new! I love it. Made me love Asian food too. Turns out they have a pretty good selection in the frozen section of Trader Joe's. I also loved Ireland and Italy because those are seriously on my list.

It`s because women are impure once a month. Their impurity would defile this holy place. But since they don`t want to check if a woman is menstruating, they stop to allow women at all.

[@crewmatewillthrowthesehand7600]

ah yes, lets deny women of access to worship and treat them as less holy because they will distract men and their "holy" process. of course no one should be doing anything inappropriate with monks. But why make "exclusive zones" for men near stupas? A man can drink alcohol and do all sorts of unholy things but somehow that still makes him holier than a devout woman?

[@Withthekaze]

@@crewmatewillthrowthesehand7600 i don't know how to explain cuz my eng is weak..but i'll try my best. The thing is.. if men tried hard they can become buddha after like 4thousand centuries and 4 worlds destroyed which is women can't.
