And yes that is the photo of my day..
I am trying to edit some more shots of Myanmar so I can post something new here and this face always "hunts" me.
He was at the boat that pass me from one side of Inle Lake to the other.
He looked so sad.
A small explaining of his face..The people of Myanmar paint their faces with Thanaka.
Thanaka is made from the branches of the sandalwood tree .
When ground, the bark of the Thanaka tree, it is claimed, acts as an astringent, sunscreen and antiseptic.
Children and babies seem to be daubed in it, sometimes with circles painted on their cheeks and stripes along their noses!
Even in the cinema posters the local movie stars are portrayed wearing their beloved Thanaka!
