  1. Myanmar – Mahamouni (near M’Rauk-U).

     

     

    Everywhere in Myanmar you can see (usually somewhat older) people chewing on a red substance. This is called Paan and is a preparation combining betel leaf with areca nut and sometimes also with tobacco. It is chewed for its stimulant and psychoactive effects. After chewing it is either spat out or swallowed.

     

    Here are some pictures of the preparation.
