A woman with thanaka on her cheeks and a cushion over her head thrust out her fists and boasted of her strength
The Ayeyarwady River runs right next to the town of Pyay. The riverbank is spacious and perfect for a stroll, although it seems to vary considerably depending on whether it is the wet or dry season. There were ships moored here and there, and a few locals popping in and out.
The young woman in the photo was one of the people I met while strolling along the river. Her cheeks were covered with Thanaka, and she had a cushion on her head to carry her luggage. Like this woman, she carried a large plate on his head as she boarded the boat and peddled inside.
This young woman seemed to enjoy having her picture taken, and when I pointed my camera at her, she took a brave pose with her fist in the air.
