Latest Inle Lake hotel reviews
I'm a little conflicted by taking pictures like these.
At one level, it's a little like a human zoo. At another, a vaild sociological, historical documentation of a practice that I assume is going to go the way of foot binding.

Visitas todo el proceso de fabricacion de la seda desde que hilan el hilo hasta que hacen el tejido en el telar y por supuesto hasta que tratan de vendertelo.Pero tenemos que decir que no insisten en la venta aunque realmente tienen cosas muy bonitas y a muy buen precio
Es curioso el tejido que hacen con los lotos del lago que multiplica el precio de la seda
You visit all the silk manufacturing process from making the thread up to weaving the silk in the loom and of course of up to the moment that they try to sell it to you. But we must say that they don´t insist on the sell, though they really have very nice things and with a good price
It is interesting the fabric made with the lake lotus that multiplies the silk price

Tanto en el lago como en otras zonas de Myanmar los mercados de los pueblos tienen una cadencia de 5 dias, asi que los cinco pueblos principales de la zona alternan la fecha del mercado, variando el dia de la semana .
Estos mercados con gran colorido son muy importantes para su economia
Nosotros visiyamos el mercado de Maing Thauk

Se puede visitar un taller en el que se fabrican los paraguas hechos con papel de arroz. Te ensenan todo el proceso:
Fabricacion y decoracion del papel
Fabricacion de las partes de madera
Montaje del paraguas o parasol
Aunque parezca mentira estos paraguas aguantan el agua a pesar de ser de papel
You may visit ashop where they make umbrelas with rice paper
They show you all the process:
Manufacturing and decoration of the paper
Wood parts manufacturing
Assembly of the umbrela
Though is hard to believe these umbrelas are waterproof even if they are made with paper

So I went into the post office, as well as the officer's home. The desk by the door is the working place.
I said I wanted to send a post card to China (actually to myself). He said with a smile, "Ok."
"How much is it?" I aksed him.
"30kyat."
That's the same price as in other cities.
"I'd like one stamp please." I then took out my post card.
He looked at my card, looked at me, said, "I'm afraid you can't do it."
"Why not?"
He took out a big sheet of stamps and explained shyly, "I only have 2 kyat stamps. You'll have to need 15. See, altogether they are larger than your post card."
I couldn't help laughing.
Finally I said, "Ok so I'll have to act as a postperson myself. Can I buy one and you stamp it on my card?"
However, I bought 5 stamps, as how can you spend kyat note less than 10?
When I came back, I found the stamps a very good souvenir.
