Another boy selling offerings at the gold stupa. Again, we tried to get him to smile but to no avail. |
Happy father with his beautiful child. The child put his hands together to make a greeting gesture to us. So precious! |
We were approached by a few beggars in the border street market. This elderly woman appeared to be in a particularly sad state. |

| Long-Neck Karens and Child |
Padaung women, also known as Long-neck Karens, one of the strangest ethnic groups in Myanmar. The women begin "stretching" their necks with brass coils as adolescents, becoming 30cm long or more by old age. However, "long-neck" is actually a misnomer, because instead of stretching out the neck, the pressure of 11 pounds of brass simply compresses the collarbones and ribs down. |
