Exploring Myanmar
Yangon. A good photograph does not happen every
day. On my 2nd visit to Yangon in Dec 2008, the lighting from the sun was
just not there and none of my photographs were even half as good as the
Oct 2008 one shown here. Now, what are the beautiful people
doing in the wall painting at Yangon Airport? Are they going to a
barge? Why?
A "Thanaka" Mother. For the first-time
visitor to Myanmar, seeing so many young girls and women with
yellowish-white powder on their faces in the countryside is an
unforgettable sight. The make-up is extracted from the plants,
presumed to be named Thanaka. Paintings of Thanaka girls are sometimes
seen.
