IT has been new trend to celebrate wedding reception among migrant workers like us. We need to attend such celebration very often as our social cycle is relatively big. Mostly, the newly weds couple select the wedding avenue on the famous Myanmar restaurants so that they can treat their wedding guests by traditional foods. Also they can demand decoration on the tame of Myanmar traditional to restaurant owner. Among others, Inn Lay Myanmar restaurant is quite famous among Myanmar couples who are looking for their wedding venue followed by several monasteries. Most importantly, Myanmar restaurants are located in the peninsular plaza and easy to access for incoming visitors. Perhaps this make us to easily choose those restaurants.
When we celebrate such wedding event, we used to serve by either lunch or dinner to our close friends as well as relatives. We also don't leave our foreign friends from workplace to be invited. Most of foreign friends are attending our wedding event so as they can learn our culture and to show their care on us. It's compulsory to invite our bosses as a guest of honor. Here, one thing we find difficult is to search proper person to greet them and help them in needs. Because everything they see around wedding event could be strange to them and some might want to know further rather than just viewing them. Since the restaurant owners tried their best with the tame of Myanmar's best traditional decoration, they are most likely to catch those foreign visitor's eyes.
At a wedding ceremony of my friend couple, they managed to treat visitors with lunch as usual. The couple is busying with greeting people around the hall. Their bosses coming in, they greeted them and located in one place. Then they transfer one close friend to help their boss in whatever they need. As they see other visitors are queuing for their buffet lunch, they started to queue. Once their turn reach, they ask couple's friend what curry is it by pointing one steel container. The translator-elect friend immediately answer and the foreigner bosses were distraught by the answer. What make them confused is "That is goat curry". In fact, the translator tried to explain them it is mutton sir. It's quite funny to be said now but it was really uncomfortable for the attending bosses amid other visitors.
May my fellow citizen use proper English to prevent their own reputation.
