Women's Work is Never Done

The slanted lines and the boy leading your eye to her is nicely done. It's too bad her outfit is so busy as without the white she would have blended in. Any idea how old she is? Doesn't look like she is over 12. :/ Could just be perspective.

Myanmar women, particularly the ethnic minorities, are of very small stature and I could never judge their age unless they are very, very young or very old.

There is no place in this world that I like more than Myanmar.
If you can get away from tourists, it is easy to think you are in another, much lovelier world, less complicated for me and forever photogenic

In regards Myanmar clothing, to understand the variety of what you might see, particularly in smaller places all mixed in with Western dress, read

I hope that somehow it prospers yet retains the ways in which it is different.
