Close-packed Boys

Shot in the city of Yangon, Myanmar.

Walked in the residential area. The local people wandered up and down the streets. Walking in a leisurely way among them, I found a small wooden house which door was open. The inside was well seen when I stopped in front of it. The room was crowded with many boys. Apparently, the boys were just studying while they gathered in this small room.

There were small desks and most of the boys open their textbook. The room looked like a tutoring school. However, not all of them studied seriously. Some boys seemed to just come here and relax. There were boys who disliked to study everywhere in the world. The boy in the center of this photo could be one of them. He just leaned back against his friends. And he smiled at my camera when he noticed me.
