The woman selling sleeping mats was so embarrassed that she hid her face in her hands

Woman hiding face bashfully — Woman hiding her face with her hands in embarrassment

The Myo Ma Market in Thanlyin also sells non-perishable foods. The stores and people selling fresh food looked bored, but the people at the stores selling non-perishable food seemed to be even more bored. As I walked through the empty lots, I came to a store selling sleeping mats.

There were several sleeping mats stacked on top of each other in front of the store. I have had several opportunities to glimpse inside the homes of local people in Myanmar. Although the people who invited me to their homes were not very wealthy, all the houses were very simple, and not one of them had a bed. Of course, the hotels I stayed at in Myanmar this time and last time had beds, but sleeping on a bed may not be the norm for the local people. They seem to sleep on sleeping mats on the floor, as is the traditional Japanese custom.

As such, when I pointed my camera at a young woman selling sleeping mats, she seemed to be embarrassed and began to cover her face with her hands.
