MYANMAR (11/28) - Photo with Essay

The Store At The Open-air Market In The Center Of Yangon Was Selling Large Quantities Of Onions And Garlic

The Woman Dressed In A Rose-patterned Dress Is Looking At Me And Smiling Gently

While Others Were Working, The Woman Was Holding A Lunch Box In Her Left Hand And Shoveling Rice With A Spoon

The Woman Looked As If She Was Wearing A Beauty Pack, With Her Entire Face Well Coated With Thanaka

Moving Through The Crowd, The Man Was Selling Baskets

In Downtown Yangon, Which Is Laid Out In A Grid Pattern, The Somewhat Narrow Streets With Little Traffic Are Often Open-air Markets

Stairs At The Entrance To A Mid-rise Building Without An Elevator Are Used Like A Certain Bench By The Roadside

Two Out Of Every 100 Myanmar Citizens Are Overseas Chinese, But I Never See Anyone Who Looks Like An Overseas Chinese

One Broken Bone Of The Bright Purple Umbrella Must Be A Charm

Chicken Is The Most Affordable Meat In Myanmar, Just Like In Other Countries

Those Who Broke The Competition For Places Are Setting Up Store In The Middle Of The Street Instead Of At The End Of The Street

The Vegetables On The Stall Table Looked Like Nanohana, With Small Flowers On The Tips Of The Long Stems

There Were Also Stalls Selling Kun On The Street Lined With Street Vendors Selling Vegetables, Meat, And Other Perishable Goods

Myanmar People Also Eat Pig's Face Skin, Just Like Okinawans

It Was Still Mid-morning, But The Carman Was Lying On Top Of His Vehicle, Sleeping

The Mother Was Sitting In A Chair With Her Young Daughter Between Her Knees, Giving Her Daughter's Hair A Good Trim

I Thought Myanmar Citizens Were Bookworms, But In Fact They Much Prefer Videos And Other Content To Books

At The End Of The Street Lined With Fruit Vendors, Sule Pagoda Shines In The Night Sky

Being Sandwiched Between Bangladesh And Thailand, Myanmar Cuisine Is Influenced By Both Thai And Indian Cuisine

The Young Mother Was At The Night Market In Casual Clothing That Could Be Described As Pajamas

I Followed Many Locals And Ended Up At A Small Landing Place

The Boy's Face Was Painted With A Mickey Mouse-like Pattern In Thanaka

Trouble Is, In Myanmar, Prices Are Often Written In Burmese Numerals, Not Arabic Numerals

I Thought I Would Be Able To See The Night View Of The River Since It Was A Night Market Along The River, But I Didn't See It

There Was No Change In The Fact That They Wore Something Called Thanaka, Which I Don't Know If It Was Makeup Or Sunscreen, Or The Fact That They Liked To Chew The Leaves Of A Binglow Plant Called Kun

I Feel Like The Camera Has The Power To Flood Me With Smiles
