Walking Neighborhoods Sittwe |
|
Sittwe is the gateway to Mrauk U, on the west coast of Myanmar
There I met Khaing, who is an English teacher
She strolled with me through some of her neighborhoods |
|
|
and introduced me to Oung Kyaw Zan
who himself teaches English
here with a student |
|
|
he's a repository of information about the Arakan/Rakhine state and its people |
|
|
then we walked through the market to the waterfront
that's Khaing in blue skirt, with her son Naing learn Oo |
|
|
and on to a monastery, where this monk resides
he might get lonely |
|
|
but he has company |
|
|
some young monks

Along Main Street
as I've said elsewhere, everything seems to happen outside, and on the ground |
|
|
Merike, a friend from Estonia, walked with me in a Sittwe Park
kids swarmed around us |
|
|
we clowned with them
even when we tried to walk away, they kept gathering around us |
|
|
but who can resist them? |
|
|
I loved looking at them |
|
|
those faces |
|
|
those eyes! |
|
|
What a charmer, eh? |
