Dancing in the Street

I came across these fellows — idle trishaw drivers — one afternoon in Nyaungshwe, across the street from the central market. It was festival time, the full moon still a few days away, but these guys were getting the party started early; banging gongs clanging cymbals, beating drums, and dancing up a storm. I got the feeling they had been drinking something more powerful than tea. Get on the good foot!
