I flew to Inle Lake after a few days in Yangon, there was
a big annual festival happening ~ boat races the
day I was on the lake, a great spectacle: the misty mountains
all around, the sunrise, the stilt houses, the amazing balance
of the leg rowing, & of course the colourful boats, one or more for
each village. Boats full of villagers too.
Our boatman took us to his house, made from woven bamboo
on stilts, the lake is not so deep. A simple place with
zero excess. The water looks clear, & there are floating
gardens in another area, I saw very healthy looking tomatoes.
