Man Carrying A Big Basket

Shot at Thanlyin Myo Ma Market in Thanlyin, Myanmar.

Most of the shoppers who came to this market carried a shopping bag. Yet what the man in this photo carried was different from someone else. It was a very big basket. He wore a tank top and a longyi. And he walked the passage while lifting the basket onto his shoulder.

Although many grocery shops stood side by side, he gave them undivided attention. Apparently, he didn't come here to buy foodstuffs. Right. His basket was too big. If it was a shopping bag, he could carry a week's worth of food. He might come here to deliver. However, his basket seemed to be light. Maybe he had finished delivering and on the way to go out of the market.

Thinking about such a thing, he passed by me and walked away soon.
