    Some schools may mandate their students to wear uniform on specified days (and may be every day).

    • Shirt (e.g. long sleeved white shirt)

    Encyclopedia

    • The Encyclopedia of Asian American Folklore and Folklife (AAFF) was published by ABC-CLIO in 2011.
    • Folk tales (as told by Saya Dr. Htin Aung and Ludu U Hla) are part of the Folklore.
    • The encyclopedia of AAFF consists of three volumes. It covers 23 Asian American “Groups“.
    • Articles about Burmese Americans are covered in Pages 127 to 178 of Volume One.
    • Nine of my articles appear in the encyclopedia.
    • The Editors decided to merge two of my articles with other authors. It resulted in an error introduced by my co-author. On page 150, he mentioned July 22 (instead of July 19) as Martyrs’ Day. The merged article unfortunately was not sent to me for review. The Editors promised to correct the error in subsequent editions.
