lake Inle, locust village, floating garden, few bridges. The houses are so huge, brightly lit by big windows. As opposed to mud huts, or most brick houses in Tanzania: tiny and the windows always small, even on big houses, aargh. Burmese are apparently not richer than Tanzanians but they seem to enjoy a minimum of comfort like space!
instead of learning to ride a bicycle or bloody soccer, they learn to steer a boat.
you want to meet your neighbor? take the boat...
many tourists around but people still 'like' us? Not sure but there's no begging anyway. Just some curiosity. Which I can definitely understand. Some of us, even me maybe, have a way to dress....
2 beggars but not every active....
a remote monastery. I was the only visitor at that time, it was a bit of the beaten tracks but not that much. These guys barely looked at me. Which puzzled me. If they're are so many tourists in the area, they should be a nuisance and the place should be closed to us. If I'm a rarity, I'd think they'd watch me in detail...maybe they had travelled a bit and knew about our species...
would it be interesting to read her biography?
