Burmese people like to wear flip-flops?

Why do Burmese people like to wear flip-flops? Many people will say that Myanmar is in a tropical climate with hot seasons. It is too hot to wear sports shoes. In addition, the tropical climate is rainy and sandals are convenient. However, this answer has not yet reached the fundamental point. Myanmar, from national leaders to ordinary people, wears slippers on weekdays. Even Myanmar leaders wear slippers when they attend APEC in Beijing. So the weather is not the main reason. In fact, you may know that Burmese people are very Buddhist, so Buddhist architecture can be seen almost everywhere in Myanmar. Believers are not allowed to wear shoes when entering Buddhist buildings. Because Burmese people think that wearing shoes into the temple is blasphemy and disrespect for the gods. Therefore, in order to enter the temple to worship the Buddha conveniently, everyone wears convenient slippers to show their frankness and sincerity to the Buddha. Not only that, in Myanmar, wearing slippers is also a way to respect others.
