362--Myanmar: Monks at Ngwe Saung Beach @ CherieSpotting     Jul 21 2006 - 14:45 PST Cherie writes: Ngwe Saung Beach is a 15-kilometer stretch of sand on the Bay of Bengal. It’s the home to hardworking fishermen and peaceful monks. During the day you are plagued with difficult choices such as: should I swim in the pool or the bay? Or should I meander into town in search of a snack? Come view the photos of the colorful and cheerful people of Myanmar. The are traditional local restaurants in the village near the beach. It was here that we ate lunch and had a waiter assigned to fan us the entire time we ate. Only in Myanmar! Jean and I had an incredible time at the Sunny Paradise Resort.

You decide. Jean in the shade. Myanmar woman. Jean walks down the street. Three generations. Cute Myanmar kid. Time for a nap. I wonder what his sign says. The Shopkeepers. Why won't the ball obey and just go in the pocket? Billards in Burma. OK, who wants to break it to the people of Myanmar that there are no beaches in Las Vegas? Do you prefer fish or bananas? Jean snaps a photo. Getting fanned while eating lunch. Exploring the beach. It's more fun to share. Jean in the water with an umbrella. The sun slowly slips away. A monk takes a stroll along the beach. I wonder what he's thinking as he stops to stare at me. I'm not sure what they are doing...but it looks serious. That's the engine for the boat. Some assembly required. Rowing through the waves. Heading for the horizon. Myanmar man in the light of dusk. I am smiling! Young boy on Ngwe Saung Beach. The inner-tube renter. Absorbed in a good book. Bernadette admiring the view. The ladies trip to Ngwe Saung Beach: Jean, Aunt Lynda, Bernadette and Cherie. Pool or ocean...it's so hard to choose. Jean and Cherie. Lynda and Bernadette from the window. Preparing to rent inner-tubes for the tourists. Breakfast crab? Men love to work on boats. Kids at play. Waiting for high tide? It's impossible to be sad while sitting in an inner tube. Jean in the pool at the Sunny Paradise Resort. A little slice of paradise. Cooling off. Double trouble. The inner-tube renter. Shade. Walking at peace. Monks walking on Ngwe Saung Beach. Footprints in the sand. Don't step on that! Pagoda by the shore. Beauty and peace. Morning worship. The trash collectors. Keeping the beach clean. Jean likes this restaurant! Hygenic fish for lunch. What's inside? Is this legal? It's hard to be serious when you are holding a coconut. Jean at the Sunny Paradise Resort.
