Acommon feature of skiing is waiting in lift lines.
does the existence of lift lines mean the price is not working to allocate the scarce resource? if so, what should be done about it?

The price should be increased to achieve a balance between supply and demand.

Explanation:

If visitors have to wait long for lift, this suggests that the demand is not matching the supply. In fact demand seems to be higher than supply which causes long wait for lift. An increase in price will cause the demand to fall and hence the supply will meet the demand and would result in less waiting for lifts.

Since the most people in Burma are Buddhist, a novitiation ceremony, called "shinbyu" is one of very important traditions. According to the site (http://www.myanmar.cm/lifestyle/shin_pyu.html), a novitiation ceremony is about "allowing boys to enter the Buddha's Order of Sangha (or monks) as a novice after shaving their heads, donning robes, and asking permission in Pali to become a novice."
