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.
With close to ninety percent of Buddhists adhering to Theravada Bhuddism, it is not surprising that you come across monks on a very regular basis in Myanmar. They are hard to miss in their dark red robes, very photogenic, and you can see them everywhere, doing almost anything. In some places, you can see lines of monks with bowls roaming the streets in search of food. You can see young monks, very old ones, joyful ones, and secluded monks, too.
