Journey To Burma (Myanmar) & Langkawi Via Kuala Lumpur, Day Seven – Part One: Kalaw, 9 November 1998

“That’s Shallot” in Kalaw Market

[In the morning at Pine Hill Resort] photographed Karen [people] dressed as Palaung [people] and some dressed as [other] Kalaw [people, e.g. Danu]

Everyone in this picture is guilty of sartorial cultural appropriation

Went to Catholic mission – met exceptional Father Angelo and his protégé Father Paul

Then on to Kalaw day market Palaung and Pa’O people [for real] (hit jackpot). Took many photos – Janie shared many pens.

Nuns so rare as can compare in Kalaw Market

The photographs from this part of this day are pictures 60 to 74 in this Flickr album – click here or below:
