Myanmar is mostly buddhist, and there is no way to escape that fact. It also means that you see monks everywhere - sometimes they can be enjoyable, sometimes they are serious, sometimes they are a nuisance.
But sometimes, monks become an outright nuisance. While visiting a pagoda, it regularly happened that monks would bluntly ask for personal donations, and were disappointed when you told them you already donated money to the pagoda itself. Mind you, monks are supposed to possess very little, and definitely not to acquire goods with money begged from foreigners. Especially in areas with more tourists, seeing a monk approach me sometimes made me shrink away in expectation for more pleas for a donation.
