Myanmar United States Navy, a North Korean ship on the way to Myanmar after a deadlock, two weeks ago forced once again reported the New York Times Sunday. The times said the United States of North Korean cargo ship suspected of carrying the light rocket technology, M/V in Myanmar. The Navy destroyer McCampbell was sent to track its movement.The largest export out of Myanmar is rice, despite the plethora of other valuable natural resources.
Just as the United States has a section known as the "breadbasket" because of its fertile soil and ability to grow grain, Myanmar is part of the "rice basket" of Southeast Asia. Another of the interesting Myanmar facts is that it exports million of tons of rice per year to other countries around the world. Also like the United States, Myanmar has an independence day, but they celebrate their independence on January fourth. Some more interesting Myanmar facts include that it is not divided in the same way that the United States is.
There are states, but the divisions also include townships, wards and villages. There has not always been one set capitol city, either. In 2006, the capitol changed from Yangon, which was formerly known as Rangoon, to Nay Pyi Taw. Before that, Mandalay was the capitol when the country was referred to as the Myanmar Kingdom. Today, Mandalay is still considered the cultural center of the country.
