easy people, really. What a shame they have to endure such a horrific life. The events from last year prove it again unfortunately.
of course, next to the touristy spots, like Bagan, the same people become a real plague. Visiting their shop, having a look even a free look (luckily), following a bit in the streets... same all over the world sadly.

she accepted to pose but didn't change her attitude at all. Though it was a bit of a remote area without foreigner in sight. I was not worth much in term of entertainment...
a nun and a young food seller. Her cheeks are painted yellow. It is a Burmese skin care product that I've seen all over the place at any age, even on boys.
2 local restaurants. I must say that Burmese food is not going to catch up anytime soon with Chinese, French or Italian food. Luckily there is a big Chinese (for that purpose) and Indian community so I only ate there after a few trials with those restaurants. Too much salt for one, even on packaged fruit! A local guide and a doctor confirmed that their diet was really crap, unhealthy on top of being unsavory. But as said they're not fat at all.
the last restaurant I tried, with new friends from all over the world, was tempting because there was a buffet with 14 different dishes. All of us, all, stuck to rice, tomatoes and potatoes, leaving aside the dishes with sauces and spices. I missed Thailand and Cambodia on that matter.
