Myanmar: Dhala, Bamboo village
June 10, 2013 § 78 Comments
This bamboo village, that contains a few hundred tiny bamboo houses is just on the oter side of the river from Yangon in Myanmar. Even though people live in pretty poor conditions there, they smile a lot and warmly welcome all, who wonders around.

oh so pleasant of know people smiling despite the money, despite the conditions – its always good to know such qualities still exist.

you are right, it was really pleasant to see those smiles every day, no matter where you go and how people live there. thanks!
All of these photos are wonderful, and I am having to hold back from liking every single one! I love photography, and hope to travel as you did, and be able to capture such beautiful people and their smiles of joy…

Great photos…i’m curious as to why all the young boys have that white paste/paint on their faces? Would you happen to know? Thanks!
hey, it’s protection from the sun, local sun block :]
that makes a lot of sense now that i think about it. it just reminded me of how the young masai boys in E.Africa paint their faces in a similar way as part of a coming of age tradition so wasn’t too sure. thanks!
Good portraits! Thanks!!
again a reminder that we need very little to stay happy!
Congratulations on being freshly pressed. This gives proof to the world that there does not need to be homeless. Thanks for sharing what I call human rights http://www.youthforhumanrights.org/

These are awesome! Did you get to try any of the traditional food while you were there? I have a Burma cookbook and the flavors that they use are incredible!
yes, tried some food of course – they have some pretty strange flavors :]
Absolutely lovely. I always enjoy people photos when I travel. They capture a country for sure.
Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed. Thank you for going off the beaten path to bring us these great photos, that show the humanity regardless of the conditions.

Good photography plus high concern!
You are one of those who knows beauty lies in bare lands too.
Appreciable!
thank you for the kind words! and yes, it might even be that those bare lands are acctually the most beautifull..
Correct!
I really liked the third one with the girl and a dog’s profile out of focus. It could make a good painting. Why are they wearing those masks? Is it to protect them from the sun?
LOVE Myanmar, I went there earlier this year. Lovely pictures!
The people of Myanmar are some of the friendliest I have ever met. No hidden agenda – just pure interest in who you are.
Great pictures!
Beautiful photos. I love anything to do with Asia.
yes, Asia is lovely.
Love the photo of the boy with the nets. Looks like it was a beautiful day with some beautiful people.
thanks, it was!
I went to Myanmar in December for a few weeks and was very lucky to spend a lot of time in the countryside. I even was invited into a children’s home and school for kids who come from intense conflict areas, many who have lost one or more parent. The optimism of the Myanmar people, in spite of everything, is amazing. I will never forget my visit there.
