Boys Playing Spinning Top

Shot in the city of Yangon, Myanmar.

Soon after I saw many boys gathered to a small room to study, I met some boys playing around in the street. I didn't know whether these boys had finished their study already or not. Anyway, they preferred to play around. It could be much interesting to play than study for them.

Unlike the boys studying in the hut, they noticed me and were interested in my camera soon. Although they played the spinning top in the street, they stopped playing and came to me. One boy made a pose and the other smiled while opening his mouth wide. I could see a string and a spinning top in their hand. What they played was to spin a top. In spite of the popularization of smartphones, it was still popular to play a traditional spinning top here.
