Sittwe – Morning fish market

This time of the year the fisher men bring home mostly very young shrimps which are used for shrimps paste. The use of this paste is well known in Southern Eastern Asia. The way they sale their products is like an exchange by shouting.


Kyaing Tong – Shan novices

On our way to the villages in the mountains we passed by a monastery with about only 20 novices. They were shy but soon became quite open and happy and kept on playing and laughing all the time.


Kyaing Tong – Ann Hill Tribe

The people of the Ann Hill Tribe are well known for their black teeth because of chewing specific leaves and some kind of tobacco. This group lives in a small village consisting of no more then 20 wooden houses. They are warm and friendly and invited us for lunch.
