The Myo Ma Market, a nondescript local market, had a long, quiet air about it. There were no stores selling souvenirs, and few tourists were attracted to the market. The people working in the stores were also relaxed. It did not seem to be a busy time of the day. There were not many shoppers walking around the market. Not a single person tried to sell me anything as I wandered around. I like places with that kind of atmosphere. Here, I can observe people going about their daily lives as much as I like.
When I came to a storefront, I found a young woman and an elderly woman sitting down, both looking bored. The young woman seemed a little surprised to see a foreign tourist without warning. She looked at the camera I was holding and started to laugh hysterically with embarrassment. It was quite embarrassing to be the subject of a photo. Behind her, an older woman looked at her colleague who was laughing hysterically with a bitter smile.
