Girl Cutting Foodstuff

Shot in the city of Thanlyin, Myanmar.

There might be no kitchen in the house with no water place. During walking the lane between the dwellings near the Oak Pho Su Station, I found a girl cooking at the entrance to her house. The place was not a food stall. Although she was still young, she seemed to make an arrangement for dinner there. Her mother could be getting other things done.

A wooden board was placed in front of her and it was a chopping block. A small kitchen knife was in her hand and she was just cutting a foodstuff. A green foodstuff was seen on the block. Yet I didn't know what it was. Maybe it was green onions. Anyway, she kept cutting without noticing me. I wondered what kind of dishes the local people ate on a daily basis.
