The book is the first guidebook of its kind to meet the reference need for expats in Myanmar or coming to Myanmar. It assists expatriates in achieving success in Myanmar by helping them overcome the biggest challenge of expats here – the cultural conflicts. In fact, cultural conflicts are cited as the most challenging issues for expats working overseas.
According to The Economist, a survey of senior executives from 68 countries indicates that 90 percent see “cross-cultural leadership” as the biggest management challenge of this century. Up to 40pc of managers sent on overseas assignments terminate early. The cost to employers of each early return is between US$250,000 and $1.25 million.
Bui is an intercultural trainer and author about Myanmar. She has many years of experience in the corporate world including six years in human resource services in Myanmar. Bui sees herself as a cultural bridge between Myanmar and the world.

Tango is a popular partner dance, with its roots in Argentina and Uruguay in the 19th Century. The dance drew influence from African, Native American, and European culture and is a combination of many dances, namely – the German Waltz, Czech Polka, Polish Mazurka, and Bohemian Schottische with the Spanish-Cuban Habanera, African Candombe, and Argentinian Milonga.
Ladies and gentlemen who want to do the Tango should make sure they wear comfortable clothes that let you move. The ladies should be wearing flowing skirts, and close-fitting pants. While the gentlemen should pick jeans or pants which are loose and allow movement.
Club Rizzoli even welcomes beginner, so don’t feel shy about not knowing the moves.
What’s more? There’s no entrance fee charged unless you order their beverages. A Kirin draught beer will be US$2 per glass; the house-poured wine is $5 per glass; and the spiced cocktail is $4 per glass.
