Myanmar Photos

Here in Dubai on Monday with normal wifi

A typical kitchen in the local villages. Not a lot of kitchen surfaces to work off and very smokey. Many of the kitchens we saw were separate from the main house or in lean toos on the side

Three photos from Inley Lake. The first is the traditional fishermen. They do dress like this and fish like this - not just for the tourists. Note the giy on the left with the paddle through his leg. The second shows them beating the water to drive fish into their nets.

And the third shows the rows of veggies - these are rows and rows of tomatoes.

 

 

A view from the roof top of the Mandalay hotel over the Irawaddy.

Another Inley Lake shot showing its Venetian qualities

The Shwedagon pagoda in Yangon with its 60 tons of gold - all laid via gold leaf!

And finally from Myanmar this is....

A public phone box. Mobile phones do exist for a few but only on the glove rent network but for most this is it. Our guide said this was how he used to organise the trip , can you imagine how hard that was.
