Chickens Seller Giving A Bitter Laugh

Shot at Thanlyin Myo Ma Market in Thanlyin, Myanmar.

A low table was placed by the wayside. And a woman wearing a pink shirt sat beside it. She wore a garland on her head and a gold necklace. Besides, she put a gold ring on her finger. Apparently, she seemed to be living large. Some chickens were displayed on the table. She sold them.

Approaching her, I held my camera. Then, the female chicken seller started to give a bitter laugh. She might wonder why she was focused by a foreign traveler. Watching the situation, those who were around her also started to laugh. The laugh was brought by someone coming from another world.

Looking closer, one of the shoppers had a big wallet in her hand. Like in Japan, women seemed to have a big wallet in Myanmar.
