I Was Told There Would Be Jumping Cats?! – Where the Fuck is David?

On the lake again

Cold, clear water

Through floating fields

It’s a race!

Exploring the neighborhood

Probably a cheaper suburb

Can you still call this a village?

The way to the Indein Pagoda complex

Indein Pagoda complex

I love it when nature reclaims human-made structures

In the center

The interior, blue and red, as a nice contrast to the green and gold outside

Countless structures, in every possible state of decay

Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda

Feeding pigeons. In Germany you’d get into trouble for this.

Inside: Never seen so many donations boxes in one place. Kind of ruins the place really.

Jumping Cat Monastery

A bit more than a decade ago, a monk living here trained cats to jump through wooden loops. Nobody has used the actual name of this monastery since then. It’s simply called “Jumping Cat Monastery” now. The monk has passed away though and the current cat generation mainly hang out. And licks things.

… And sleep.

… And stare at invisible demons. Just cat things.

Lotus thread weaving

It takes a lot of effort to weave and process lotus threads.

But therefore they are delicate, cannot be washed properly, cannot be dyed, don’t feel particularly soft and are super-expensive. I’m sold!

Bamboo pots

Are you trying to kill us?

Hand rolled cigarettes and cigars with different flavors

Some of them even made our chain smokers cough

Black Smith family (Not referring to Will and Jaden)

Sparks

Hi! I've taken a year off from everything I know to travel, chill out and meet new people.
