    The sunrises over Kalaw, it's tin houses, dirt paths and aged golden Pagoda glimmering in the glow. The villages of the Shan hills awake with the rising light and the echo of the rooster. Today is a big day, the start of the summer months, and the beginning of the Novice Festival. Parents spear the boar for roast, begin to dry tea leaves, and dish up plates of soft sugary sweets. For them it's a day of celebration, but it's the children who fear this day the most. It marks the end of their childhood in some ways. For the summer, they are forced into the monastery, to learn the teachings and discipline of Burmese Buddhism.: by annapurnauna, Views[588]

         		 One of the many Pagodas that dot the landscape in Bagan, Mayanmar's ancient capital. More than 10,000 Pagodas and temples esisted in this area in the 11th Century - the remains of over 2000 of which are still there today.: by chello, Views[750]
         		 A Buddhist monk in Yangon stares up at Shwedagon Pagoda as he makes his way at sunset to the top. The Pagoda is treasured by Burmese Buddhists as it is said to contain relics of all four enlightened Buddhas.: by chello, Views[454]
         		 Little girl and her sister in a Myanmar village, near Inle Lake. I slept in that village the night before and when I got up to have breakfast, I found this little girl with her sister on her back. The baby had a special cream on her face made by the bark of a tree; it protects from the sun when you work in the fields. : by sea_2014, Views[434]
     
    I was visiting a temple, when it began raining pretty bad. I was all wet, so I went inside the temple and I found this monk with this boy. It seemed to me the monk was explaining something important to the kid and he was just pretending to listen, making that face that most of the students have sometime, when they are thinking at something else. : by sea_2014, Views[433]
         		 Local farmers in Bagan, Myanmar countryside. I was biking through the countryside and I got a flat tire. While I was trying to fix it, these farmers with their animals came along. It was almost sunset and I thought it was a beautiful moment. : by sea_2014, Views[357]

         		 There are over 4000 pagodas in the Bagon area. It makes for a nice day to rent an battery powered scooter and cruise the area. The scooters rent for $7.00 a day. Unfortunately my pooped out about five miles from the rental shop. All part of the adventure: by lipowcan8, Views[418]
         		 The exchange rate is $1.00 US = 1000. Burma: by lipowcan8, Views[353]
     
    Bagon, Burma: by lipowcan8, Views[436]
         		 You'll probably see this photo hanging in my living room. Doing the Burma trek was one of the goals for the trip. I made it and didn't injure myself, although my feet got pretty beat up and I
         		 Funeral pyre for a monk. (Don't get to use that word very often unless your quoting a Doors song).Quite a site to witness, I felt kinda guilty taking the picture.
