Lappajärvi Myanmarissa?
... ja nyrpeää naamaa. Vaikka Myanmar on yksi Aasian köyhimmistä (jollei köyhin) maista, kerjäämiskulttuurin (etenkään lapsien kerjäämisen) tukeminen ei kuulu näiden turrejen tapoihin. Kerjäläisille rahan antaminen on signaali siihen suuntaan, että kerjääminen on normi ja hyväksyttävä tapa hankkia rahaa turisteilta. Ennemmin maksamme ylihintaa käsin tehdyistä huiveista, koruista ja lokaalista tupakasta.

Mad Mayanmar Massage
Today we stayed in Ngweshwe and had a walk around. We went to Mingalar Market where they sell absolutely anything. I bought a traditional handwoven Shan bag for 2,500 kyats about $3.
