There was a family with three people on a motorcycle in the middle of the street, trying to make a left turn

Family riding on same motorbike — Family of three on a motorcycle

I was standing by an intersection on Bago's main street, watching the traffic. It was a wide street, but there was not much traffic. Cars were driving freely. It must have been fun to drive, as the traffic was flowing smoothly without any congestion. Across the road, I saw a mosque with two minarets.

Eventually, a motorcycle stopped in the middle of the intersection. It was about to make a left turn. When I looked closely, I saw that three people were riding on the motorcycle. There was a girl sitting right behind the handlebars, a father sitting behind her on the handlebars, and a mother sitting at the end of the line. The family is in the middle of moving together. The girl in the front row was holding a parasol tightly, as if she didn't want to get sunburned.

Even though there was not that much traffic, there was no traffic light at the intersection, so it was difficult to time when they could make a left turn. The flow of cars seemed to be uninterrupted, but it was hard to break the flow. The motorcycle remained stopped in the center of the intersection for a while. In the meantime, the father got tired of checking for oncoming traffic and started to turn his gaze toward my camera.
