Tattooed lady in Die, Chin State, Myanmar. Her fam

Tattooed lady in Die, Chin State, Myanmar. Her family was originally from the Magway region in Myanmar but had to migrate to the Chin state. Her face is tattooed completely black. The origins of this tradition are steeped in legend, but the prevalent one is the same as for the spider web tattoos, ie to avoid being kidnapped these ladies would tattoo their faces to look "ugly" and hence not be taken as wives by the local reigning "lords". Quite frankly I thought that the tattoo did not change anything to her beauty, and she was a real "player" 🙂 We had a great time with her and her family. I really hope they are doing ok over there!

Thinking of all my friends in Siem Reap right now.

Thinking of all my friends in Siem Reap right now. We are lucky to be in countries that actually have a decent health service ( most of us) even if it’s getting overwhelmed. They don’t have one, and they survive with our tourist dollars which are few and far between right now. So as you complain about being stuck at home, well we are lucky... Social distancing works (for us)...

A bit of sun and warmth on this bleak morning.
A single hair of the Buddha…
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda also known as Golden Rock is located in the Mon state of Burma.
According to the legend, the rock is held in place a single hair of the Buddha. It is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Myanmar. Worshippers (only male) have covered it over the years with gold leaves. These leaves are so thin that they will melt in your fingers if you hold them for too long.
If you are in Myanmar this is a well worth trip to make just to experience the devotion of the worshippers. Many spend the night atop the mountain around the pagoda sleeping outside under think blankets and covers. Be prepared though for the incredible drive up the mountain, that is an adventure in itself.
