Garry in Maymyo/Pyin Lwin

This is a very blurry picture I know but I thought it was pretty evocative and gave an impression of Maymyo/Pyin O Lwin being stuck in the 50s.

It is called a garry. My mother remembers using these in the 40s and they are still around and still being used!

Unfortunately, we did not have time to hire one but I would have loved to.
