Like other markets, Myo Ma Market in Thanlyin has some people who have stores and do business, and others who do not. I am not sure what the difference is. In any case, everyone was doing business in a relaxed manner. The woman in the photo was one of those doing business without a store, sitting by the aisle and working.
There were baskets lined up in front of her, with different vegetables displayed in each basket. After a while, a shopper came in and bought some kidney beans. The woman who took the order began to fill the plastic bags with green beans. I was standing right in front of her, watching the woman's gesture.
The woman felt my gaze and, perhaps unable to hold it any longer, began to laugh. I am not sure whether the woman's laughter bothered me or my camera bothered her, but another vendor who was doing business was watching us.
