I was walking along an outer corridor on the second floor of a market in Kyauktan, and on the second floor, unlike the first floor, the stores were separated from each other by a wall, each like a room. Curious to see what they were selling, I peeked inside and saw fishing nets hanging from the ceiling in front of every store. It seems that this place is a collection of stores that deal in fishing nets.
There were people standing in the hallways, all tending to their fishing nets. I don't know how many fishermen come here to buy nets. In any case, with this many fishing nets lined up, it seems like they could handle a lot of demand.
The man in the longyi in the photo was also in the process of spreading out a fishing net by hand to see how it was finished. Although the man does not look at me, he knows I am standing very close by and pointing my camera at him. The man is smiling a bit as he moves his hand. I take a closer look at the man's spread fishing net, and it seems that the thread is crumpled in the area where the man has spread it out. I couldn't determine if that was the problem or if the man was giggling because of the problem.
