After passing through the crowded open-air market, I came to a large street and the street where the open-air market was held ended. At the end of the avenue, there were many cars parked in a row. One of them was a minivan. The back door was open, and a man was sitting on the edge of the cargo bed. The man with a large tray hanging from his neck seemed to be resting there.
Looking at the tray, I see boxes of cigarettes, bags of cigars called Seboleik, and a plastic container. He is a mobile tobacconist. In Yangon, there are stands selling cigarettes and kun here and there, and even convenience stores, which have become ubiquitous, sell cigarettes. Still, there are also people like this man selling cigarettes and cigars.
I was idly looking at the tray where various things were neatly placed. Then I felt the gaze of the tobacconist. I noticed that he was giving me a hard look. It was as if he was saying, "This is no freak show."
