laid back



At Inle lake I stayed at a small hotel with separate cottages,
so pleasant, & not cut off from the village nearby, a laid back
place. The Princess Garden hotel.
There are markets around the lake, in 5-day rotation,
the ladies were there, & the boys with their snazzy haircuts.
& a teak monastery.



Here are more during the festival - didn't I see those faces
in Mexico, or Guatemala? You can see how they balance
at the back of their skiffs, & row with one leg.
The rattan houses use different patterns in their weave.
Depending on your interests, it would be easy to spend more
time here, & at Bagan. It's really quite different at other
times of the year, too.
Not all places in Burma are open to foreigners.
