Olympus OM-2N | Kodak Plus-x
Traditional pony cart and the more typical transporter. Pony/horse carts are common throughout the country, but most I've seen are basically wagons...Pyin Oo Lwin is famous for a particular type of beautifully-painted enclosed carriage.

Baby monks the day after the ceremony. Six boys around this size, and a tiny 7th who refused to wear a robe and couldn't leave his mother's arms but didn't want to be left out. (not all related, but I can't remember how many were brothers).
Olympus OM-2N | Kodak Tri-x
Monk novitiation ceremony. Before the heads are shaved, the robes distributed, and precepts are taken, the novitiates dress up like traditional princes and host a huge feast. They were truly thoughtful and gracious for such young ages.
Gracious hosting doesn't preclude a little winged-hat battling, naturally.

Crafting silver pots. The pot lids are filled with what looks like tar, then stuck together. The solid insides makes it easier to gently hammer out a design on the delicate lid.

There are tea shops/restaurants at each stairway down to the ground, and I believe this family owned one of these shops. Not sure what happens to them during rainy season, when the water level supposedly rises to about 2 feet below the bridge.
