The Buddhist Missionary Society is led by a Rakhine monk, thus the Thingyan celebration held at nearby P.S. 222 featured mon di. Mon di is the Rakhine answer to Myanmar's ubiquitous mohinga, plus spice, minus peanuts.

Not surprisingly, the people of this temple were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and eager to talk about travels in their homeland.

Yashica Mat | Ilford Pan F+
Oliver, aka beetabonk on Flickr, is a lovely new friend that I met through said website. A day out shooting with him included the generous donation of 2 rolls of 120 film to play with in his Yashica Mat, as well as offers to have the film developed and scanned for me. (I insisted on developing the b/w roll myself).

Thanks to beetabonk for the loaner. Had a wonderful time!

I think I'm really just into this one because I'm amazed at the lack of grain on a 6x6 negative. Thanks to beetabonk for the loaner.

This kindly man from Yonghe, Taiwan patiently waited when I realized both my cameras had run out of film just as I got up the nerve to ask for a photo. Things were slow in the haircutting game that day.
