For once I thought its a social escort shop. If the shutter is down, one would have easily thought so.

Day 5: The Magic of Inle Lake.
…. On our way to the Mandalay Airport for yet another Domestic Flight.
Early morning streets of Mandalay saw the local getting prepared for yet another day in their lives.
I am sure every one of us in the team has been asked time and again how Mandalay looked like, and for that matter, how Myanmar looked like.
Well, it is really difficult to describe in words.
I found it tough to, because no amount of word will portray the scene of the city and the local townships in as accurate a manner as a simple little record shot would.
And I would rather just snap away and leave no imagination for the viewers.
Thus, again record shots theses are, merely, just so that all of us can remember Mandalay by...

Mandalay has lots of motorbikes.
But no where as many as in Vietnam...

Why, thank you Gapman!
A record photographer has to do what humble job a record photographer has to do.

Thank you tazzie21.
Yah, so sad for you to have lost your tripod.
You know something? From what I understood, in Myanmar they viewed crime towards tourist very seriously.
Wonder why this still happened.
Maybe waiting to buy Monhingar (Myanmar Laksa)... hahaha...

Sunflower Field... shooting Sunflowers!
If I didn't remember wrongly, right from the start when we arrived at Mandalay, Cecil and the whole gang had seen fields after fields of Sunflowers very near the Mandalay Airport.
However, we were all in such a rush the day before that we had no opportunity to stop for shoots.
And now, as the time for our flight departure draws near, Melvin was pressed on one side, by the very gentle insistence of these enthusiastic fellows, and on the other side, by the shortage of time...
The coach drove and drove.
A Sunflower field passed by. Cecil looked with a big frown.
Another Sunflower field passed by. LowLights looked with a big frown and a twitch of his moustache.
Yet, another Sunflower field passed by. Everyone started to look at Melvin.
.... A Sunflower field came into sight...
"Ok Ok Ok we will stop by the roadside for you all to shoot this Sunflower field.
But please please, fellows... we have ONLY 10 minutes. Please just take a few shots and
run right back to the bus... Please please please..." pleaded the poor Tour Leader to a roar.

Disappointed monks return to the monastery - they were the subjects of the staged shoot but we were more interested elsewhere

Day 5 - Arriving at Heho - the Gateway to Inle Lake.
The Air Mandalay Flight from Mandalay to Heho took about 55mins.
The weather was superb when we landed at Heho.
And it was so conducive to photography that I think it was Melvin who got everyone to gather for a Group Photo.
Thanks to LowLights for helping me do the composition of this group photo.

By Day 5, we were all very fluent with the Burmese language already.
Wah... everything started coming our of these fellows' mouths:
"Kaung De!" (Good!)
"Ayer Kaung De!" (Very Good!)
limwhow #192"Ayer Kaung De!" (Very Good!)
As everyone dispersed to walk into this Heho Airport, Kernik suddenly turned around and said:
"Fwoooaaahh! This view of the backside of the Propeller plane is so beautiful! You will never have a chance to shoot an airplane so near to its backside. Come, come, limwhow... run with me, let's go right down to the behind and shoot it UWA with the blue sky up there... Come, run, come!"
So I gong gong and I started running with him lor.
He was clever... he shot the plane's backside.
But I think I was cleverer... I shot his backside as he shot the plane's backside.
How's that?!
limwhow #193
The Heho airport was unique in many ways.
But one of the most obvious uniqueness was apparent to the olfactory senses right upon entering the doorway...
Well, I am a very diplomatic person when it comes to these... I chose to believe that the Janitor was on leave on that day...
