Red Table

Shot in the city of Thanlyin, Myanmar.

Walking toward the city center, I found a red plastic table placed by the roadside. It was a very popular type in Myanmar. Many food stalls used this kind of table to do business. Yet the place didn't seem to be a cafe or an eating place. This table was the only table I could see there. And a schoolboy, who wore a school uniform, sat at the table.

No cups nor teakettles were seen on the table. A notebook was put on the table was a notebook. Apparently, he was just studying alone there. He might review his lessons. Anyway, I wondered whether he could concentrate exclusively on studying. Because of the location, many pedestrians passed by him. In fact, he laid down on what he had to do. He looked at a foreign traveler while stopping studying.
