Picture of the Week #47


A small train station near Kalaw, Burma.  There was a commotion as the train stopped at this station.  People rushed to purchase fruits and vegetables, in bulk, which are apparently cheaper here.  Many vendors make a weekly trip from here to Rangoon (via Thazi) where the produce is sold for a neat profit.  It's a 12+ (slow) train journey.

HAd it not been for the burmese hat, this could well be the Delhi Station I remember from years ago. Crowded, transactional, rushy always...
