We visited a village near Bagan, perhaps one that was relocated from amongst the temples to make way for tourist traffic. It was set up as a model village and we were encouraged to take pictures of people doing normal village things like weaving sorting peanuts, looking after children, collecting water from the well.

Kids on the way to a festival in Bagan
Below lacquerware workshop in Bagan. It takes at least 8 years to produce a piece. Both men and women are involved in production tho this area is all men. Pliable bowls are made with horsehair as well as bamboo as the base. Amazing ancient art! |
