When he saw me with a camera, he ran to me and requested me to give him some shoots. Lolz. So, I asked him to do some funny acts. He said he couldn't. An INNOCENT KID from my town.

These 3 candles are dedicated to BUDDHA, HIS TEACHINGS and HIS SCHOLARS. In our religion, we normally refer these as 3 JEWELS. That's the reason people normally offer 3 candles, 3 cups of water at pagoda and temples.

Today is the last day of Myanmar New Year Festival (THINGYAN). Time flies fast and 5 days gone. I am not feeling very well. Having a big headache because I was talking on the phone with someone special early in the morning. Lolz. And I believe I am more than enough with THINGYAN shots. You dunno me well. I easily get frustrated doing the same thing again and again.
And there are people who do expect some more sets about my town. Of coz, to visit TAVOY is not cheap at all. Plus not very convenient. You drive there from Yangon? Yes, it takes 28 hours to be there. But you have an option. Buy AIR-BAGAN ticket and fly there. Only 1 hour!! An hour trip on the place cost you 52,000 KYATS, making 100,000 KYATS for round trip. So, it's my pleasure sharing some good shots from the place where you can't easily commute. Pls enjoy!!!
