Myanmar / Inle Lake / Tribes / Shy Smile
I spent a week at Inle lake (called Intha) and had the opportunity to visit some local markets in Shan state. I love those Tribes and their unique clothes. Yes they are proud but on the other hand very friendly. I was lucky because I had a chance to capture this unique shy smile.
