Inle Lake buy weed

I begin this post by referring back to the previous one in which I wrote about the formation of the crop garden beds in Inle Lake. In the background you can see plenty of water hyacinth that is also used as part of the mass that goes to make up the islands. Water hyacinth is an invasive, non-native plant, but at least they have found a use for it. We had our heads buzzed in Nyaung Shwe. It was time. About every six weeks we find a barber and have a number two buzz cut. For the uninitiated the number refers to the attachment on the buzzer that determines the length. It all began in India in February of It was hot. I hated my hair. We decided to get buzz cuts. A tiny hole in the wall barbershop near the ashram. The filthiest comb I have ever seen. He combed my hair then buzzed my head. Then swept my head, shoulders and face with the roughest and filthiest hand floor brush I have ever seen. Despite the eeeeeeewww factor I was delirious with joy. For seventy-five rupees! The picture on our gravatar was taken by my sister Suzanne that same day. And now Nyaung Shwe, Myanmar. Another hole in the wall barbershop. I was horrified. Then shrugged. Nothing to be done. Hair grows. The hairdresser called it the no-ego cut. This photo is of Don in the barbershop in Tiruvannamalai. Even though it was still early there were already dozens of boats there. These markets are huge, and big business. Farmers come from all around to sell their produce, middle men come to buy in bulk to transport it all over Burma, and families come to do their regular household shopping. Crowded and colourful, the sense of community is strong. Everyone has a purpose, everyone is busy. Only better. Somehow we managed to find our boat when we were ready to leave. Delivering a crop to be transported to Nyaung Shwe and then to other outlets. It is a handsome building housing many beautiful Buddhist artifacts, quite a few monks, and a bunch of cats. A while back the head abbot and some of the monks trained several of the cats to jump through hoops on demand. There are differing stories as to why it stopped. Apparently the trained cats have now died, as has that head abbot. What would it take to train a cat? I know! It would take patience, attention, focus, kindness, concentration, perseverance, time-out-of-time, and above all presence. Oh and what are the qualities required for meditation? I think they would be patience, attention, focus, kindness, concentration, perseverance, time-no-time, and above all, presence. I like my word better — stupididiot. All words and images by Alison Louise Armstrong unless otherwise noted. Like Like. Thanks Kelly. I appreciate the comment. I adore these photos. Thanks Lakshmi. Yes, Indian and Myanmar barbers are certainly unique. A close shave! So very compelling. Thank you Laurie. Something about it. To me it says something about community, tradition, friendship, family. My hubby had the buzz cut a few years ago. Then a pony tail. Then… oh never mind, lol. The photos are so wonderful as always. And in Tiru, no buzz cut for Chris, just scissors and comb! A barber closer to the big temple, but I do have some great photos of young children getting buzzed in Tiru, offering their hair to Shiva. Great photos as usual! Thanks kai. Our barber in Tiru was just a bit towards town from Ramanasramam on the same side of the street. Little hole in the wall. Keep the posts coming about Burma! We had visited the jumping cat monastery in — it was delightful. Somehow I think a lot more than that has changed…. You were there in 97?! I had thought the Junta had closed the country to foreigners, but now I think it was more of a tourism boycott because of the Junta. I should research it a little more I guess. I bet it was an amazing place to visit back then. It seems now that things are changing politically tourism is gradually increasing and this past season almost everything was booked up. One more post on Burma, then Mexico! Love your comparision of tr aining cats to meditation and thus your reasoning to keep on training cats. One of t he few shows I watch — sometimes. I never miss Doc Martin though. I thought the reason for stopping the cat training was so specious. Did you see the aerial ice skaters skating on plastic on AGT? They were fabulous! Alison, one of the stars of your blog are the beautiful captures of local people going about their daily business. James, thank you so much! I do love photographing the people as they live their lives. It can be a lot of fun. The boat scene was fun. Kudos to the monks for trying. It was packed! Great time in Alaska. Will be blogging about it for a few weeks, I imagine, Alison. LOL times ten at monks training cats to jump through hoops!! I would say it was an indignity to the cats, not the monks. The attempt, in itself, is a match for the act of meditation. And yes I agree, monks are the perfect people to do it lol. I must be doing something wrong. My cat has me trained. Thanks Cindy. The plethora of boats in the market area is just stunning. Just lovely. I also love the stupididiot name, come ON!! A jumping cat monastery with no jumping cats…way to ruin the magic!! Thanks Andrea. The markets at Inle are a sight to behold — exotic and exciting and so much life energy. Yeah, no jumping cats — definitely way to ruin the magic! I finished them today. You two have done a great job of telling a story through photos. Thank you for the inspiration and entertainment. Like Liked by 1 person. Thanks so much Jeff. It was an amazing time. For me it was definitely one of the highlights of all our travels. Hope you get there one day soon. It really is extraordinary. I am amazed at the number of boats that were at the market. We were there in the offseason so did not see anywhere near as many. And the action shot with the monk stands out! The market was huge, and the photo only shows a small portion of the boats that were there. Search for: Search. Share this: Tweet. Like Loading Wonderful post as always. Thank you! Thanks Paulette.

Myanmar’s famed Inle Lake chokes on floating farms

Inle Lake buy weed

The floating farms have become as ubiquitous at the UNESCO-recognised reserve as its houses on stilts and leg-rowing fishermen, but residents warn that the plantations are slowly choking the lake. The ever-expanding farms are eating up surface area, sending chemical runoff into the waters, and clogging the picturesque site with discarded plant matter, critics say. But aquaculture comes at a cost to the lake. The farms must be anchored in place and the produce shielded from the sun — mainly by invasive water hyacinths. The weed grows rampantly on the surface of Inle, depleting oxygen levels by blotting out light for other plants, so it makes for a free and abundant building block for plantations. Out on the lake, Si Thu Win heaves mounds of water hyacinths and other aquatic plants from the water to shore up and protect his plants. Published On 16 Nov 16 Nov
