These kids don't belong to this lady, they just wandered up and plopped down...maybe bored. Possibly curious about me but they definitely didn't try to speak to me.

Facing fears | Kong San, Myanmar

This child wouldn't stop crying. I thought he was afraid of me, which was weird because I look so Burmese, but apparently he was afraid of strangers because when my guide spoke to the boy in his own dialect, the boy smacked him with his arrow.

The white robe indicates he is not a typical novice, and likely an orphan. The usual red-robed kids participate in a novitiation ceremony and then become novice monks, while the white-robed ones study until they can become novices. Until they wear the red robes, they keep to looser rules--for example, they do not have to stop eating at noon.

Shan-style tofu | Kyauk Phyu, Myanmar
Olympus OM-2N | Kodak Plus-x
Slicing homemade Shan-style tofu, made with lentils instead of soybeans. Here in Mae Sot it's usually made with powder and tastes a bit like gelatin when finished, but the homemade is delicious. We had a huge portion of tofu salad for dinner, one plate spicy and one "original."
Randomly chose this shopkeeper to lodge with and it turned out she was my guide's stepmother's niece. They'd never met before.
