First time in Yangon, Myanmar has so much to offer in terms of food, culture and lifestyle. Since I only started travelling actively last year, I would say Myanmar is a place like no other - in a good way, of course.
In my personal observation, I find this a very poor country but what amazes me is not their poverty, it's their resilience in making ends meet and live a life. When I saw the smiles on their faces, it means life goes on. Live it with a smile.
Glad to have a camera with me. Here's some of the stuff the Burmese do for a living.
 |
On the street, Burmese sell all kinds of food. It's almost a market in its own rights.
|
 |
Flowers for sale. So pretty and lovely. |
 |
I wasn't sure if they are really binding books. I saw tobacco on the desk. |
 |
Lovely pineapple themed cart. Must be the Burmese version of Rojak. |
 |
More preserved fruits here. |
 |
I really like this one. Betel leaf and fresh concoction of tobacco, I think. Please correct me if I am wrong. |
 |
Burmese are mobile and they move about. They can sell things anywhere. Here at the train station, a girl sits on the floor to sell fresh big oranges. |
 |
During my train ride, I must admit there is much to see. This one's selling food. |
 |
Peddler selling at the railway station. |
 |
Heading off a train, a peddler would hop on and off a train to sell whatever they have to offer. and frequently balancing their products and the bumpy train ride. |
 |
A boy selling cigarettes would have been a big issue back home in Malaysia. I can't help feeling for the Burmese kids in making ends meet. |
 |
A peddler sitting in the middle of the train selling some snacks. |
 |
Outside of a train station, this is another stall. |
 |
So captivated by this girl's beauty. So lovely and innocent. |
 |
Another florist. So different from Malaysia. |
 |
Found him walking on the highway. Wonders how many kilometers he walks in a day. |
 |
Selling brooms too and a cute Minnie Mouse shirt on him. |
 |
Vegetables for sale. |
 |
In the taxi, we found this boy selling law books in the middle of the road. Again, captivated by his good looks. Must be the powder on his cheek. |
