The Padaung don't live anywhere near Inle Lake, but come in hopes of earning some tourist dollars. The young cousins at this shopping stop were very sweet, only 15 and 16 years old. The older one was in the process of weaving some fabric for bags on a loom strapped to her waist, while the younger was just hanging out.
