The front view of Thiri Mingalar Market, Yangon. Myanmar. It is the biggest marketplace that sells vegetable and fruits.

Vegetables vendors weighing the morning glory.

Traditional ice-water vendor!!

A bunch of pineapples.

Kid eating an apple.

Apples, Apples, Apple!!!

Another ice-water vendor. Dont mention about those health standards and hygiene matters. Our people drink ice-water from this kind of vendor and swallow it. Some people say it taste like AVIAN DRINKING WATER. Laughing my ass off

What does he sell? Crushed areca nut doused with limestone extract and wrapped in betel leaves. A mild narcotic when chewed, the nut rots the teeth of regular users to stubs and leaves a nasty residue on the streets. Chewing betel is popular across most of southeast Asia.

Complicated moment!! The shot I have grabbed while people are passing by me.

BEGINNING....

HALF-WAY....

Thats called HELPLESS CRY.

A big bunch of THROW-AWAY behind Thiri Mingalar Market. Can you believe that?

Tri-shaw drivers awaits the passengers.

Multi-function tri-shaw. Lolz. People here use tri-shaw to travel short distance, to carry things from one place to another and the likes. The most common mode of transportation in MYANMAR.

I happened to go there with my best pal. He wanted my accompany while he was buying some fruits for his home. I brought my camera and grabbed some nice shots. At least to share the living standard of those vendors and daily lives of them.
